$1200 (MAX) Budget Build.

[Hotpeppa1]

Currency CAD$. I already have one planned but I would like to see what the LTT forum can come up with.

 

The build will be used for 1080p gaming on 1 monitor (might add 2 later but will still use 1 to game).

Games that I want to run/play Gta 5, Some Cod`s/fps, Far Cry, Project Cars/Racing, Minecraft (Ahem, with shaders), And new/next gen games that come out.

 

Preferably Skylake

Atx build.

 

Edit: ("Preferably Skylake"

Never Mind Bout That )

something along these lines, dont take that build as the end result tho.

[mrjordann]

Yes! This is going to be fun. My first PC had the exact same budget, I'll make a quick PC part list and send you a link in just a few minutes. It should have all parts high-end and best bang for your buck. Feel free to tweak and modify to your liking! I'll be back in just a few mins with a link

Skylake it's tricky right now since only the highest end i5 is out and it's not really worth it or in the price range vs a haswell i5:

The only way I can fit Skylake in is to use a 960 GTX
