Hi guys, looking for a gaming pc for ~$1300 CAD before tax. (without MIR, and not from shopRBC, Vuugo)

 

Only need the tower, no windows, not planning to overclock, but I need DVD drive.

Need it just for gaming at 1080p.

 

Did some research, I guess r9 390 should be good.

 

Was thinking maybe something like this

Can't decide on case + psu. I'd prefer a good looking mini-tower. Any suggestions?

Overall quiet system would be really awesome to have.

Thanks for the build. Would stock cpu cooler of 4460 be quiet enough?

The G1 is the kind you don't really want. G2 is really good.

It should be. It's not the quietest thing in the world, but it's quieter than a Hyper 212 EVO.

Would 390x be worth getting over 390? The tests I've seen so far only had like 1-4 fps increase.
