Hey there guys, So I've finally saved up enough to build myself a new gaming rig, My old one died a couple months ago and I havn't had the money to repair it, Now I got some good luck and have the money to build a new rig! I don't need HDD's,Ram,OS monitor ect. What I do need is a CPU,Motherboard,Case,PSU*If it can fit into budget, I want to help out step dad with his rig and he needs a new PSU* GPU, CPU cooler and SSD

Budget: I want to stay under 1000$

Location: Ontario,Canada

Aim: Gaming at 1080p, Want to overclock the most out of my parts.Video editing may be in the future.

Monitors: 1 1080p for gaming, 3 1080p for productivity

Thanks for the help :)

Edit: Blah,Forgot I already chose what case I'm getting, NZXT Phantom 410.

Intel Core i5-3570K is pretty much the sweet spot at the moment. For the motherboard, whatever you want really; the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 is a popular choice. It can handle overclocking but if you do really heavy overclocking though you may want something a little beefier like the MSI Z77 MPOWER. For the GPU, probably a GTX 670 or a 680, whatever fits your budget. And then a good 550W power supply will power any single GPU setup, the SeaSonic SSR-550RM is a good choice.

Im wondering if it's worth grabbing another gtx 460 and throwing my old one into sli with a new one... What would you guys recommend? And the most I really want to spend on a GPU is 350$

[Glenwing]

A GTX 660 Ti or a cheap 670 would probably be a better idea. The performance should be similar and a single GPU is much less of a headache than an SLI setup. You could always try to sell your old 460 as well to make back some of the money.

Wait your old computer died, what part of it died?
