I would go with the T5i over the T5/T6 as well. I bought a T5 because I got a seemingly okay deal on it ($399 CAD and came with the 18-55mm and a 75-300mm lens as well). There is no mic input on the T5/T6, so if that's something you care about then T5i is the way to go.

Before someone points out that the Canon T5 DOESN'T have a mic jack, yes I am aware. I didn't realize it until a few weeks AFTER I bought it. If I were to buy something like the Rode Videomic Go, would I be able to use it if I buy an adapter like this? https://www.amazon.ca/Andoer-3-5mm-Microphone-Adapter-Camera/dp/B00S5WDPQ6/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1483139905&sr=1-2&keywords=mini+usb+to+3.5mm

I believe OP is talking about a backplate.

I'm looking to build an HTPC for around $300 CAD. Only requirements are a 5.25" external bay for an optical drive and I may want to add a hard drive later. This is what I have so far.

I've done all of that. I've had the Update From More Than One Place turned off ever since I reinstalled.

I have that disabled. There might be one PC that may have that enabled still, but I can't check at the moment.

Let me start this by saying, I don't have the best internet in the world. I have a 6/0.8 connection, and that's what I'm stuck with for now. Windows 10 appears to be extremely bandwidth heavy. Earlier, I finished all the updates that are available, so I would go and watch Youtube only to find that it's loading at 200 Kbps, and that my bandwidth is being sucked by "Service Host: Local System". Under it, I find Windows Update and a few others. Keep in mind that there are no updates to do. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a workaround? Edit: Should mention that I am on the Anniversary Update. Specs: i5 4460 Asus H81M-A Club3D R7 260x 480GB Adata SP550 (Boot drive) 1TB WD Blue

I bought a FX-4130 barebones kit instead of buying a Sandy Bridge i5 barebones kit. The guy at TigerDirect (When it was around) said "Are you sure you don't want an Intel CPU?" I said no. Didn't even bother explaining which was better. I think he himself said "FX-4130 is better because it is clocked higher" or something along the lines of that.

It should be under Windows Update. If it doesn't show up, try checking for updates or go and get it from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12387/windows-10-update-history

I agree. The only thing that bothers me (So far) is that the "All Apps" is open by default in the Start Menu. Oh and the "Active Hours" under Windows Update. I wish it wouldn't download updates during those. It's very annoying trying to play CS:GO with an update downloading in the background when you have a terrible Internet connection.

No no, I know that. But what I'm saying is it's not on the PSU tier list?

Out of stock. I may be missing something, but the PSU that GDRRiley posted isn't on that list?

1. Probably 2. That seems fine 3. You should get a second monitor so you can have your game open on one monitor, and chat, Skype, Teamspeak etc open on the other.

I mean it didn't run that great haha. Paired with a G3220 it was barely averaging around 30-40fps at lowest settings and 1280x720 Windowed.

Only thing that I'd really change is the PSU. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

GTX 480 is probably better than a 740, but that shouldn't mean you go hunting for a GTX 480. The other min. spec card that is given is a 7870, which is an R9 270 iirc. Anything better than a 270 will do wonders. You might be able to run it with the 740, we don't know. Since you already bought the game, you might as well test it too. I ran GTA V with a GT 730 for a few months until I got a pretty okayish deal on a 260x.

You kind of answered your own question. If the game isn't out, how are we supposed to know?

It depends on if you play CPU intensive games, or GPU intensive games. Personally I'd take the one with the better GPU.

You could get an i5 in there.

Someone is selling a used K65 RGB with MX Reds for $60 CAD. Should I buy it, or should I try and bring the price down a bit?

I have an R7 260x and 2GB just isn't enough anymore ;_; #IWant8GB (Totally not an AMD hashtag from last year)

You're spending a fair bit of money in the wrong places. 16GB is unnecessary imo. Cooler is unnecessary. Overkill as anything PSU. $700, this is what I'd get.
