New Gaming PC

[Llego2187]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm located in Canada and looking to build a new gaming PC, my budget is $1500 Canadian Dollars. (No need for OS, already have.)

I want to be able to play games such as Battlfield 4/Hardline, Witcher 3 Series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare  MMO's such as Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy 14 Online. 

My current monitor resolution is 1920x1200 - 16:10 - Widescreen and I'm going to stick with 1 monitor for gaming. Don't plan on going for 2 or 3.

 

Going to keep my current Gaming Peripherals - Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Monitor. No need to replace.

Plenty of cash left over to put towards a high end gaming monitor. If you get an AMD card like this R9 290, look for a high end Freesync monitor. Or if you change to a GTX 970, then you'll want to look for a G-sync monitor.
