Building my own PC+Help with Granny's PC build

Clanscorpia

Hi, so first I'll get to help with my Granny's build. I accidentally put the wrong billing address on DirectCanada.ca (Durp :P) And it didn't ship because the Credit Card verification didn't go through and they canceled the order so how do I get the same deals I did with my other order? I messaged them but I didn't know if you guys could help.

 

And because I'm having so much fun building my Granny's PC that I want to build my own Gaming PC now :P. My budget will be $600 CAD. Can you guys make some good builds for me? I'd like a dedicated GPU and a decent CPU. Thanks for the help guys!

I can get windows for $35 CAD so include that in the price. I'll be playing  CS:GO, Dota 2, Minecraft, DDO, Wurm Online, RoK, and some other medium games. I'll also be doing lots of programming. If you could also find some cheap gaming peripherals but they don't have to be in the budget.

And I can find other ways to pay for taxes but if you could get a good PC that includes taxes that would be amazing.

I got a 660 ti for 150 aud and when overclocked it goes toe to toe with a 960.

my entire build (in sig) cost me less than 550 aud.... I bought as much as possible seconhand.

My rig: r7 1700 @ 3.9/1.35v, 16gb ddr4 3200, assorted rando SSDs, hx 1050, vega 64 1650/1025

tbh for games and such this would perform alot better http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Vw3cXL the gt740 isnt that great.... the i3 will crush the games you play and the 750ti will rip through csgo at 1080p no problem seeing as my 970 get above 300 when maxed out at above 1440p you should be able to max out the game and have plenty good fps and will have power for more higher end games if you want to
