REQUIREMENTS

M-ATX, SLI/CF capable, Fits in a Prodigy-M

 

BUDGET

800-1000 CAD

 

AIM

Gaming, BF4, DOTA, CS:GO, other AAA titles.

 

MONITORS

Single 1080p

 

PERIPHERALS

Need monitor and windows 8

 

What can I do to make this build cheaper and more efficient

I will be waiting for Black Friday hoping the prices will come down.

Thanks!

For windows just install it and use the trial for a few months.

You don't need a key.

Use THIS and choose all the parts you need in your price range.

Isn't that the build I posted a few days ago......

I made that as a second choice incase he didn't want to spend the $100CAD he said was a stretch.

I think u can find a better monitor for that price.

I would go with a more expensive monitor since u can keep reusing a good monitor in future builds rather then buy a cheap one and replace it later.

I believe that is a TN panel. Go IPS unless u need the extra speed on tn.

Lol, But you will get that annoying shut downs after the trail. I believe it is every 2hours it does a force shut down till u get a key.

X-fire is scheduled on early january 2014. I don't think anything is coming out that soon.

and as far as I know 2x 270 or 2x 760 beats their higher end models at 1080p.

thats really early for planning xfire...... why not just wait and just pick up a 7970?

yea maybe but u introduce new problem,s like framtimes, games that support xfire. and trust mme u wont be happy if xfire isnt supoprted in your game. plus your CPu might start bottlenecking you at that time  anyways so its a really imblanced build in the end

I'm basing my CPU picks on this

Frametime is fixed for 1080p (I read this on PCPER when Ryan Shrout was on the WAN show I believe)

I think most modern games now support X-Fire, Titles like BF4 do so I don't think X-Fire support is a problem.

fair enough seems like a good choice then. just remember u can get a r9 290 for that price. the 1gb vram extra might be worth it. its toally up to you just giving you options
