Planning to build a PC

[NuclearWaffle8]

Hey guys and gals I have $1200 (CAD) and want to build a new rig. I need a PC cable of running gta 5, world of tanks, gmod, and just cause 3 at max to mid settings. In my build I also need a monitor which is 1080p and don't care if it's tn or IPS I also need a keyboard and mouse. I would like to have a nivida graphics card and Intel cpu but I would be willing to have a amd graphics card. The case I have in Mind is the NZXT S340.

Note: don't plan on overclocking ever.

What part of Canada do you live in?

Do you need Windows?

 

Here's what I'd get:

• The CPU cooler is there more for aesthetics than anything else, so don't spend too much.
• Not the greatest PSU, but cheap. You can spend an extra $50 to get an EVGA if you deem it necessary.
• I went with this motherboard because it matched the color scheme. Otherwise I'd go with a B85 Asus board for $70.
• Keyboard and mouse are pretty personal choices, but this is what I'd do. If you don't need the numpad you can save $15.
• I'd include an SSD, but your budget is tight. If you can extend it a little I'd say it's a must have.

I don't need the windows as I have windows 8 disk and I live in Alberta

I'd just go with the build I pieced together and grab a monitor and SSD.

You can drop down to a 950 if your budget is super tight.

Though, living in Alberta you should have nothing but money
