I need some help. (My New PC Build)

I am planning to make a new computer under $1000 (This includes Windows 7, and no accessories). I want a Computer that look cool (By that i mean all colour coordinated. e.x. White & Blue or Red & black). I want this computer to be able to run games like Battlefield 4, Far cry 3, Bioshock Infinite, and Crysis 3 in the best resolutions.

 

I am from Canada so the currency must be Canadian (obviously).

No accessories.

I have been using my 2-3 years old laptop, and I just thought I should get a computer, since they are obviously better than consoles (My Opinion)

I want the Windows 7 as my operating system.

 

Please help me and thanks.

I'd say that for that budget, you'll probably have to sacrifice the color-coordination, and maybe even on something more.

 

Do you plan on overclocking at all?

 

And by "the best resolutions", does that mean 1080p? Because it would be difficult to find brand-new components that could run games at 1440p or higher.

"M. Aronnax." replied the Canadian, "your arguments are rotten at the foundation. You speak in the future, 'We shall be there! we shall be here!' I speak in the present, 'We are here, and we must profit by it.'"

Yeah, color coordinating everything might be hard, but just matching the mobo, ram , and GPU isn't too hard. They might have to spend a little extra.

It is fine is it goes up for $300, but if I learn how to overclock I would.

+1  Really nice build.  One thing is that the V300 ssd's use different flash, and are much worse than they were before.  The M500 and SP900 are good choices (unless something better is on sale).
