[Lazlex]

Can you make a list for me that adds up to $1100- 1200 CAD Also I am 13 so please explain like I'm 5 also I will get help from my dads friend who knows a lot about computers. 

1. Budget & Location

My budget is $1100 CAD I live in Alberta, Canada

2. Aim
I need this to run Minecraft, Dota 2, CSGO and many other new titles whilst recording and live streaming. Also need it to run 3D editors and stuff as Adobe after effects.
3. Monitors
I will use one my friend has an extra.

4. Peripherals

My friend has windows 7 ultimate on a flash drive and a keyboard and mouse is included 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Because my laptop can't run anything it always turns off after 5 min of use.

EDIT: I will buy my stuff from memory express and they have a price match keep that in mind.

Normally you try to go around 100$ under budget just due to the fact is probably will purchase all the parts from one source. Also why such expensive low performance ram choice?

1. Normally you can save a lot more by sticking with one source to save on shipping. 70$ from NCIX to ship my entire computer with 2 day shipping. 240$ish to purchase on all the seperate sites 2 day shipping. Lmao.

 

2. I'd get the 4690k just due to the overclocking potential.

There you go.

1. Most places in New Zealand have free shipping or I can pick it up at a store.

 

2. The more cores will be better for the 3D rendering he's gonna be doing.

that won't let windows to boot up. I know.

1. Same with Canada, I just pick up all the parts from NCIX as they normally have everything instock instore <3

 

2. It seems like hes just starting out in the 3D rendering so I don't believe it will be a big issue.

EDIT: The case is really a personal preference but the H440 is one of my favourites. You might also want to purchase the black and blue model of the H440 to match the mobo/ram blue colour scheme.

 

No SSD, 760?! ehh. I wouldn't go for it.

Would an AMD build not be economical in that instance?

Wierd CPU cooler? (Not to judge if it works ahaha), noisy fans and a crappy case. He really shouldn't be buying a 50$ case on a 1100$ budget.

[ZacDaMan72]

Would an AMD build not be economical in that instance?

After Effects and the other Adobe softwares prefer CUDA to OpenCL. I do know that Adobe CC has OpenCL support but it's not as good as CUDA. And Intel has much stronger cores.

[jakkuh_t]

No SSD, 760?! ehh. I wouldn't go for it.

I left 100$ of headroom so he could easily get an SSD. And the GTX 760 is still a beast of the card.

 

EDIT: Also for the games he's wanting to play its overkill.
