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.

@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

Problem is current OS can only support on 2 TB drive as OS drive. For case, it is full tower I think. IMO, I don't think you really need that 300 dollar tower. There might be same case that cost 100, 150 or 200 dollar.

Those one I'm talk about

lol

It's so sexy tho. I'm getting it. That 1000w PSU would be put to good use with all the ssd, hdd, cooling & up to 4-way SLI upgrade capability.

Another good one to consider is the Cooler Master HAF X. It's a pretty popular case & a little smaller.

Another popular case is the Corsair Obsidian. There are different models at different prices.

The Phantoms are nice cheaper cases for a smaller budget build while still getting a decent case.

These are full tower cases. Look for mid tower if you want smaller.

@Xxplosive the Coolermaster Cosmos SE isn't bad and $100 cheaper. Might get that one. Just browsing for decent water cooling. Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100I CPU Cooler System isn't bad either. See a few who bought it made good reviews for it.

@Jamebonds1 I thought of getting Windows 8 but will stick with windows 7 which probably be better

That's true. There are many reason why I keep Win 7 ult.

Lol thanks i'm done with AMD. That's my current system 8yrs old now. So it's why i building new with INTEL.

Even mesaged NCIX on build i had. Asked why sale prices wasn't configured in. The person says add components individually since builds don't adjust prices what's on sale. Then suggested i can have them assemble everything and test everything with OS. If all good they wipe drive and send the system to me without OS. Since i already have Windows 7

Well just built and paid for this. Now to wait for it to be shipped. Im anxious to see this maxed out and really anxious to see the effects of the monitor. Will add ssd drive in future and another hd and vid card for sli. But this beast will play anything on max settings. lmao well im hoping it will.
