Building first computer, help!

[Zeke]

He wanted it from Canada Computers :I

Well now I see a liiiitle flaw with it.

First of all, yes i am referring to 1400CAD, and I would preferably like it all to be on Canada Computers because their store location is very close to my home. It would also save me a lot of hassle! Also, I just decided that it would be 1400CAD strictly for the hardware, not including peripherals.

With the whole liquid cooling system idea, do you think this build would benefit more from fan cooling, or liquid cooling?

Again, I'd like to thank you all, you have answered my questions very well and this community has been very hospitable!

What's your total budget? Peripherals and all? Are you not limited to canadacomputers for peripherals? If so, why not?

Going with liquid would unnecessarily cost more and take money away that could be used to improve other parts.

 

Btw, You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

The OP also wants the peripherals (excluding mouse and speakers), so our $1200 builds might not work out.

Oh. Whoops. We can still make it work. One moment.

Wait this is all Canadian? Ok ignore the build, doing this without PCPartPicker is too much work sorry lol.

Nah, just select Canada in the upper right corner of Partpicker and you're good to go.

You want good gaming peripherals? There's certainly a price premium to pay. I'd honestly just get half ass peripherals and put some more money into your GPU.

As I said at the bottom...

Just stop questioning... Asrock was originally a part of ASUS.. its now its own company, thats how great their boards are.

ASROCK (who are owned by Pegatron)were never part of ASUS (which incidentally is from PegASUS so should be pronounced that way [i.e Ah-sus not AY-sus]) . 

One of the founders of ASUS (Ted Hsu)founded a new company to deal (initially)with the lower end of 'boards that ASUS felt was beneath them/their reputation (assumption there I was not privy to the boardroom meetings/their thought processes).

They are more highly regarded now but they are a budding from ASUS they were never actually part of it.

ASUS are generally held to have the highest quality 'boards (with Gigabyte a close second) but their customer service is said to stink (no opinion there as I have never used it, but there seems to be a lot of whinges/complaints about it on the web).

 

 

And as for stopping questioning that is a ridiculous retort in any discussion.

How will he know why you have reached said decision/opinion when your answer to "why" is "stop questioning" ?

I'm actually okay(ish) with ASRock boards if you want to save as much money as you can, but I can't see the point of paying $40 more for it compared to already really good MSI mobo.

This Pc works amazingly although the RAM is uneccesary. I left out the case because its a personal sort of thing and i have no extra coolers although the case i have is the CS storm trooper. Hoped this helped or at least gave you something to think about. This came out to be around 1200 USD but it was discounted for somethings so yeah.
