Title,

 

Don't need ram, I have 8gb gskills 1600 (1stick)

 

Canadian currensy please.

 

If possible, I want to play the latest titles at 1080p with at least console graphics.

Main PC: 4690k // Z97 // R9 280 3GB // 8gb Ram // CM Elite 430 Case // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Living Room "Console" PC: FX 8350 // 990a SLI Krait // R7 360 // 8gb Ram // HAF 912 // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Future Plans:

find a 2nd monitor at a pawn shop

Sell/giveaway R7 360, move r9 280 into console PC, buy a better GPU for main PC.

Note that certain titles won't run on the i3, even if they do with a stroke of luck, not well.

very few, i would still rather a i3 to give an upgrade path over getting something like a x4 860k
