So Id like to do a high-end desktop build but would like to keep the price under 1,500 CAD* Currently what I have worked out is this:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($324.98 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 3 113.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler ($59.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($174.97 @ Amazon)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($122.98 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($89.74 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card ($532.98 @ Newegg)
Case: BitFenix Colossus Mini Mini ITX Tower Case ($88.98 @ OutletPC)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($56.75 @ OutletPC)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-14 DVD/CD Writer ($14.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $1446.35
But I have been thinking is it worth it to buy the I7 devils canyon? or should I go for a high-end I5 processor? I don't do much besides video games/YouTube/Skype. Now I do enjoy very high graphics and would love to keep that in the build if I could.
