Hi guys, I've managed to save up 350 Canadian dollars, and I wanted some help with part picking etc.

 

 

I only got a hard drive with an OS on it, and I basically need the rest of the parts. 

 

 

I live in Canada

 

 

[EDIT]

 

I'd be using it for gaming.

 

Games which I would like to play; War Thunder, Arma 2, and CSGO. .

Don't use a HDD with a already existing OS on it... especially when building a new system. Drivers and such.

 

 

I hope you know that you can't go high end. And you can't get much to be worth it for 350. Save up some more. Get what you need, not what you want.
