(Repost) Theoretical Build

Mumpka · October 4, 2015

If I had a $700 (CAD) budget for a PSU, RAM, CPU and GPU, for the sole purpose of gaming, and it had to be a mATX and LGA1150 build, what is the best I could do?

I'd just spend the bit extra there to get the i7 over an i5

Also GPU prices in canada are weird man, a 390 is like 200 dollars more than a 380.
