Better input on NEW PC

[AndreD]

I'm looking to build a new system that will run most games easily. If i can have decent system for $3000 or less and last me another 5yrs. Any ideas ppl? I'm Canadian and our prices differ from our US neighbors.

Any of these would be amazing builds, specially the first two but also the last one.

Before you spend more money than you need to you should also know that you can get a very capable gaming tower for about $500-$700 like these:

Both these are better than the next generation PlayStation 4 or Xbox One in terms of Hardware, the second one significantly so. You should be able to play all current games on high settings at 1920*1080 resolution and you should be able to play future games for several years. Good computers have become amazingly cheap these days.

This is far better as you get for near to 3000 dollar.

Creative Zr are great If you are use sound card for music, movie and gaming. But if you want more like studio then upgrade sound card to Creative ZxR for 120 dollar more, they are custom AMP chip. As for video card, GTX 780 Ti are new titan and beat GTX Titan for first time. It is 700 dollar each. SeaSonic are alike to Corair and XFX, but I decide to avoid Corsair because they install that is not really need such as interfacer connector. For reason Win 7 is choosen, it is much stable for studio and gaming than windows 8.1. For disc drive, i would avoid LG since two of my DVD burner fail easily. ASUS and Pioneer are great drive.

I thought B87 is for business?

oops, typo z87, most b87 boards dont support sli/crossfire and will not support overclocking

For such a high end build I'd recommend the Cooler Master Cosmos II. This is without a doubt the best case I've found yet. The upgrade capability, quality & cooling is mind boggling.

Looks totally killer except I would say the HDD is a little small unless you know you won't use more than that. Also you might want a Blu-Ray drive.

[AndreD]

@Xxplosive thanks for heads up on case.
@Rove I figure the asus blu ray reader in the build is good enough. Not interested of burning any. the HD might take out the ssd and go bigger on just one hd to 3tb. I will be able to upgrade or add more or bigger as time progresses

[AndreD]

hmm see comment was del. Sorry for language.
@Xxplosive
Just lmao the case is huge
