If you have any suggestions, my limit is around 800$ (Canadian)

 

Share your opinions below, or suggest different parts.  (Im not a fan of purchasing things online, as I have to pay more for shipping and all that crap)

 

If you can find it on Canada Computers, since there is a store in my area (its pretty much the only computer/computer part store in my area)

What is the information on the G.Skill Sniper RAM? 8 Gigs, but how many sticks, and speed?

[WoodenMarker]

What's the system being used for?

[KingKeith55]

Its a gaming machine, and unfortunately PCPartpicker doesnt seem to notice that the part is being carried where im buying it from

 

Oh well, the G.Skill sniper series Im getting is pretty simmilar to the 1600mhz Ripjaws X

Brand of ram doesn't really matter.

I'd get cheaper ram and a better case:

Just want to share the info I got from @Faceman. Help me out quite a bit in sorting out my build plans.

 

 

@BattleBob

 

Ok, we upgraded you to the non-LE version of that motherboard for only $20 more, it will be able to overclock now.  It also have two USB 3.0 Ports.

 

For SSD, you should really start your build with an SSD.  It is a serious pain in the butt to go from HDD to SSD and sometimes it will flat out not work.  Buy an SSD from the start and make it easier on yourself.  Doesn't have to be PNY brand, get the least expensive 120GB SSD you can find.  Install your operating system on the SSD, and all of your games on the HDD.

 

Because your budget is $900, I upgraded you from a 280 to a 280X.  Here is what the final build will look like:

Now the build above is about 130 Canadian Dollars over budget. You can cut costs by :

 

Removing the CPU Cooler (minus USD $30)

Keeping the FX 6300 CPU (minus USD $40)

And--if you really need to-- keeping the 270x (minus USD $130)... but those FPS though.... )

 

Good luck!

The r9 280x is extremely overpriced in Canada

Right, AMD is overpriced there because of mining Nvidia is overpriced here in the Philippines.
