$1000 Gaming Build [Help much needed]

[Audiohill]

Hello all, I have been deciding on parts for a while now and I cannot seem to get a good answer for the parts. If you have suggestions or really recommend a part please try and find a Canadian link or company because shipping gets crazy expensive.

Case - Undecided want to buy it from [ www.canadacomputers.com ] [Lots of airflow a window prefered with cable managment]
CPU - 3570k - $239
GPU - 7870 O.C - Undecided which version
MTB - Undecided [ Would like it to be future proof, have multiple USB's on the IO panel, support 32gb of RAM, and have 2 slots for a second GPU so also must be Crossfire friendly and support 64-bit OS.]
PSU - Undecided [750w, Modular for sure]
RAM - Undecided [1 piece 8gb for now will put in 3 other 8gb's later just for bragging rights xP]
Cooler - Undecided [I don't really care whatever will keep my cpu nice and cool under a heavy load or a big O.C]
OS - Windows 7 Professional - $149

Any suggestions would be great, I really do care about my budget but if it goes a bit over no big deal. All in all i want an outstanding computer.

I'm basically letting you build my computer xD

Well, the budget is a problem with the components you've selected... $400 gone just to the OS and the CPU, and the cheapest 7870 in Canada is $240 or so.

Anyway, here is a build that I put together trying to make your budget and specs work. Please note that it does not include a case since you wanted one from that site. It comes in over budget at $1045.

Easy ways to shave a few dollars off:

- Drop from Windows 7 Professional to Home Premium OEM. $50 difference
- If you don't use the DVD drive, drop it - $18
- If you don't intend to overclock now or in the foreseeable future, drop the 3570k and get the i5 3470. $30 difference

if a friend of mine bragged that he put 32 gb of ram in his gaming build just to be better than us. i would just laugh at him and tell him to lose my number .

I would actually get an i7, i've heard a couple games coming out in the near future will use some serious multithreading so you never know.
