Hey I need help building a gaming pc around 850$ with 13% taxes and shipping or 750$ otherwise. No os, monitor or peripherals needed. Not afraid to oc. Use an ssd if possible I have mass storage (external). Please use Canadian prices. Try not to use mirs. 

Thanks.

This one is pretty in between budgets and I have almost the exact same build and I max pretty much everything out at 1080p with at least 50fps. Have fun gaming! Message me if you have any questions.

Oddly enough in Canadaland, Nvidia is cheaper and AMD is more expensive. It's super weird. That being said I'd do this:

The 960 is fully capable of doing that.

You claim you have storage, but depends what you plan on doing and what games you will play.

the 960 2gb version beats the r7 370 2gb. i chose the 200r case because its the cheapest corsair case and they generally make good cases

 

use ncix to price match

Boom.

280x supports dx12 fully and amds vsr, which thanks to the extra GB of vram, it can handle gaming with.
