Ya heard about the new cards (1070 = Titan) btw I have to use the node 202 because of space

[partypanda64]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/y8x6nQ If you can wait for the 1070/1080, but if you can't this will probably suffice.

Even though the Core 500 is iirc either the same size or smaller...

Was thinking Node 304 oops. Give me a moment.

Could change the CPU for a 6600k but I don't think you'd be able to do a minor overclock.

Ok but I have a monitor and why a 1 terra byte ssd?

[partypanda64]

should be less then $2000 cad

Yes but if you use the Canadian pcpartpicker, you can get better parts by getting closer to the maximum amount of money

Because you can't fit 3.5 inch drives in that case.

2.5 inch hard drive are a real thing you can buy them

I know, but you get something with 1TB SSDs aka fast storage for everything. Also, there's still $700 left in the budget for the GPU, why are you complaining?

Does not include taxes or shipping, but there is a little room for that.

 

No point in putting an unlocked cpu in a Node 202 case. Compatible cooling options are simply not good enough to take advantage of the cpu. So I went for fast and quite.

 

A GTX 970 is included because Nvidia is a better choice when quiet & cool operation is desired. If there is no rush, wait for the GTX 1070. Although without pricing, there is no way to know if it will fit in the budget.

 

An ssd only build because it is not that much more expensive and the system will run much faster, cooler and quieter.
