pc PC Parts

[bigboy1111]

Ok so basically I have a fricken Mac right now that I've been gaming on a little but its time to step it up a bit. So yeah I need you guys to help me out with this one. Give me a list of all the parts (everything) I will need to build a computer (please include links of where to purchase) and use it except for the monitor which I will be getting for my birthday. So that means everything to make a working gaming computer plus a mouse plus a keyboard. So you might be asking, whats the price range on this stuff, well I'm looking to spend no more than 1,500 *CANADIAN*. I'm willing to go over that amount by a little tiny bit if I 100% have to, to get a better part thats really worth it. I feel this topic will be very helpful to more than just me but other fellow Canadians who are currently hating the crappy Canadian dollar.

 

Thanks!

Use PCPartPicker.com to select parts; it choses sellers near you (once you set your location) and helps you find the best price for each part and points out possible compatibility issues.

 

What will you be using the computer for exactly?

[bigboy1111]

I will be using the computer for gaming only, I have two other computers to do all the other things I want to do. Does PC part picker choose the best parts for the price or do you find the parts yourself?

I would like to think the stores 'Newegg Canada' and 'DirectCanada' use CAD.

Right, I should start reading more . I was wondering why a 650 watt 80+ gold PSU cost 130 bucks.

Its worth pointing out that a big difference between HKZeroFive's build and HPWebcamAble's build is including the operating cost.  I plan builds and just idly forget to include the cost of windows and focus only on hardware.  But when budget is a big concern its important to remember these pieces and factor in the extra cost.

This is very true. I've done the same, built a perfect build thats exactly the price I wanted and last second I noticed that it would all be useless without that dang $120 OS. Thanks for pointing that out, otherwise I may have bought all those parts and no OS.
