MY friend needs a CPU, MOTHERBOARD, AND RAM.

 

WHAT HE HAS - GTX 780 TI, a 700w PSU , a case that supports full atx motherboards, and he has storage 1 SSD, 1 HDD,  he won't be overlocking and he'll be playing demanding games and what not , no video editing, this is just for playing games!

 

BUDGET: He lives in canada ontario and  has  $400 Canadian dollars, hopefully this is enough for something 

 

Iprobably missed some information some where  Kek

CAD is worth a lot less than USD right..? Maybe something like i5 4460, H97 board by MSI or AsRock or something and the cheapest 2 sticks of 1600MHz (or higher if not a lot more expensive) 8GB RAM. Kingston is good, Crucial and some other brands too

Oh boy, I really thought the i5 would be cheaper.. It's like 190 euros here and 170 dollars in USA

Hmm.. The lower i5 (4440) is even more expensive.. Oh boy.

 

You could go for a cheaper motherboard I guess, but I wouldn't know what is any good. Maybe some B85 motherboard.

the 1866Mhz hyperX 8GB is cheaper then the 1600Mhz 8GB were i live xD

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
