Get a 4690 instead then get a 500w power supply and wait for the GTX 970 since it's better than the 770 and hopefully the same price range :D

It's not a bad build. Are you saying that you've bought everything but the HDD and GPU or do you just mean in your PC Part Picker build configuration?

You might wanna go for a 4690K instead of the current CPU. It's not much more and it has overclocking options as well as a higher standard speed.

It's something unpredictable. But in the end is right. I hope you've had the time of your life.

@SAV1OUR, I've mentioned this repeatedly and I probably sound like a broken record, however, you always seem to be able to put great build configs together. You must just have a natural talent in this area. Good on ya! :D

@SAV1OUR, thanks so much for your reply man, I really appreciate it. 

 

However the parts that I have left to buy are the GPU and the HDD. I didn't want to overclock (I don't have a good answer for why) and I kinda just went off some recommendations and stumbled my way through purchasing. My house has an issue with delivery, so I get all my stuff from the Canada Computers' store. 

 

So like based on what I already have at 1k canada, I was wondering if you can comment on how well you think it will perform and maybe tips as to the GPU. 

 

And again, I really appreciate your help man
