Hi guys. I'mm looking to build a new gaming rig but I'm unsure of the components. I'm looking for something that is quite powerful but not too expensive. BTW I'm in Canada.

My Budget: $1350max (lower is better)
Preferred sites: NCIX.ca, Newegg.ca
Not Required: Keyboard, mouse

*At least an i7 unlocked( I'm new to building so if you think i5 is better for gaming do tell)
*16 gb of RAM would be good but at least 8 gb
*Monitor should be decent sized and min. resolution of 1920X1080
*Powerful gpu is a must
*Not sure of a good hard drive combo but a 1 terabyte would suffice



Anyways I'm not very experienced so if you have any suggestions please tell me.
Thanks! :)

i5 will have everything you'll need for gaming only. 16 gbs of ram is a waist you only need 8 especially for gaming.

It would help to know what games your playing as well. Different GPUS respond better for different games.
