My current pc is over 6 years old and my gpu does not support dx11. I also have to lower the settings on some higher end games.

 

So I decided to finnaly do a full upgrade replacing almost everything.

 

My budget is $2000CAD Aprox. As my current plan does slightly exceed it.

I already have the periferals.

I use two 1080p monitors right now but plan to upgrade to 3 2K monitors for surround gaming.

 

While this pc will be mostly for gaming I do use it for 3d modeling and rendering on ocasion.

 

Here is the list of new parts.

I have two 1.5TB storage drives.

My case is a Thermaltake Xaser VI

 

 

As for CPU cooling I do have an aftermarket cooler, but am consider going for an AIO water cooler since I'll probably overclock it.

Either the H80i, H100i or the H110i depending of what would work best for this case as the two larger ones would have to be mounted on the bottom of the case, and would put the hot air into the case.
