[Build Ready] ~$850 (CAN) gaming build
This is my first time building a PC and I would appreciate any feedback. I'm trying to keep the cost around $800-$900 (CAN). I do not think I will be overclocking, so I did not go for the often-suggested i5-3570k. I have been browsing this subreddit and this is what I have come up with:
