New Build Help

[G3T_R3KT_M8]

Hey guys, I'm looking at building a new PC. It will be used only for gaming nothing else. My budget is $1000 CAD and I'm sticking to the i5 4690k, and either the gtx 970 or a r9 290 GPU. Thanks

He gave the budget in his main post. $1000

 

Monitors are probably a NO with his budget

 

For a $1000 budget you 99% of the cannot have an SSD, so just normal storage has to do

 

Always include an optical drive.

I totally miss the budget.

 

For me, I'd go with a 850 evo 250gb on sales so it's really depend the person goal.

 

and optical drive are really becoming obsolete

[blueballs]

you don't need an optical drive if you got a usb flash drive
