Shockalt

Yea please do send me the deals. I'm not sure if I'm against it since I've never had any experience with used hardware. Are there any downsides (i.e. not working properly) to buying used?

Thanks for the list. I don't care about the looks, just the performance. I game maybe 10-15% of the time and the others is just productivity/watching whatever. Part of the reason I wanted to upgrade is to make gaming more enticing so I might bump it up depending on what I get. I'm not trying to go into 60 FPS 1080hd graphics on everything either, so maybe getting the i3 would be better. I'm definitely going to be looking closely for black friday deals on the different parts if I can find a build that I'm going for.

So I'm not familiar with the technicalities of SSD. Can they just fit into any build with ease or is compatibility something to consider when buying SSD?

1. Budget & Location ~$1000 CAD in B.C. A little more (~100-200) is fine. 2. Aim Mostly web browsing, office work, "high end" tasks would be playing games like Path of Exile or Civ on good quality (or higher). 3. Monitors Hoping for 2 1080p monitors at least. Anything higher resolution is just a cherry on top 4. Peripherals I'll most likely need Windows (7 is fine, 10 is good too). No keyboard/mouse needed. 5. Why are you upgrading? Using a prebuilt Dell computer from 2011 (or before I can't remember) and I thought it's time to upgrade Currently considering two options. One from https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lonxu/saved/qkvZ8d and the other from https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fbdVJV. I'm a computer newbie and I'm not sure which one would be a better fit since prices are kinda similar (2nd one is cheaper). I'm not going to be doing anything hardcore with the computer besides gaming every once in a while. I'm also not sure about SSD since it seems very popular but I've never used one. Any cheaper alternatives in either scenario that would be better? Thanks in advance.
