I will be building my first pc soon.

I am wondering what the best option would be.

My budget is $1000 CAD.

This is my current idea:

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($285.00 @ Canada Computers) 
Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($99.99 @ NCIX) 
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case  ($64.99 @ Memory Express) 
Total: $1057.76
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Could even change chipset afaik.

Locked processor on an overclocking chipset.

I saw CAD and got excited there was another draftsman here....

 

but if i were to rate the choices, I'd say that you really should find the space for an SSD. That 10000rpm drive isn't really all that much better than the 7200rpm one... :( although i see that it was free.

 

How do you do this? well.... honestly I wouldn't lower anything on the build, and would consider waiting for sales on those items for the headroom to buy an SSD. OR, you could drop the 1TB drive and get a SSD, and if storage is needed in the future, you can add the space.

This is my current Idea:

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($285.00 @ Canada Computers) 
Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($99.99 @ NCIX) 
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case  ($64.99 @ Memory Express) 
Total: $1047.90

I got a psu that got 9.2 out of 10 on jonnyguru.com
Ill probably get a cheap ssd in a year or so with 120gb.
My current computer: Macbook Air i7 8gb ram  has 128 gigabytes of pcie storage.
It is amazingly fast, but I always need to delete suff so that I can use it with 20 gb free so I can get the most out of my performance.
I will be installing Arkham city, tf2, csgo, insurgency, and VERY heavily modded Minecraft.
Ill be getting bf4 in a week, so that is already over 128 gb.
My friend will give me his old computer, and it might have a big hdd.  If he does, I will go for the ssd.
I was at Canada Computers yesterday, and there was a great deal on a v300.
