im going give a great list of parts. you can price match them at ncix and get them to build the system if you want


http://pcpartpicker.com/ca/p/axke

performs the same or even better than both of the 3 rigs. i left some space for you to buy your peripherals

 

[Aleonris]

Well I save roughly $100 with that site with the newegg build. But won't the shipping be expensive I buy every part from every seperate site that sells cheapest? Also once my build is done, it switches all the prices to US sites instead of Canadian sites. I don't want to order from those because it will only make me waste more money.

If you have a Microcenter in you area. You can get a I5 3570k for far less then you can on new egg or other places.

Quebec lol. It's about a 10 hour drive to the States. It would just cost me alot of gas money instead.
