never ever buy used Asus laptops, the build quality of them all are meh or bad, most of them also have a heat issue and Asus's support is not very nice or that willing to help. Also for 900CAD you should be able to get a Dell 7559

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

DO NOT TOUCH ANY LAPTOP WITH AN i7-4720HQ.

 

ESPECIALLY IF IT'S FROM ASUS.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

well you live in canada and yes you can get a ssd. I just remember that linus said that it was around your budget.
