1300$ Gaming Desktop

[Adam Boucher]

This is for all them Canadians because I'm working with CAD

 

I want to build a really good gaming desktop with a 1300$ CAD budget(shipping and tax incl.)15% tax

 

I really want to fit a GTX 1080 but i don't want to bottleneck so if it will only work with a 1070 that's OK

 

Thanks!

well, for that budget and i5 and a gtx 1070 is what will fit without sacrificing alot of stuff i mean, you can sacrifice alot of stuff to get the 1080 to work (like getting 4th gen intel)

You better just save up untill you get to like $1,500 CAD or like $2,000 CAD because I kept trying to make a build with a 1070 and still couldn't make one that felt right.

Geez, what's with people trying to fit GTX 1080s when the card itself takes up more than half of their budget? There's no need to have the absolute best card but rather a balanced build in general.

Here's the best I could do:

You can't fit a 1070 let alone a 1080 into a well rounded build for $1,300 CAD so I opted for a 1060 6GB instead.

 

 

 

I didn't know how to include the tax in your country so I'm sorry for that.
