First time building a PC for gaming. $700 budget in Canada.

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • Mostly gaming. Overwatch, Total War: Warhammer, Witcher 3, etc. Looking to be able to play most new games at the highest settings I can reach.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • $700.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • As soon as possible.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Just the tower. Wouldn't mind recommendations on monitors/keyboards/mice as I look to upgrade those in a few months.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • Alberta, Canada

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • Just using an old moniter/keyboard/mouse. Nothing fancy.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • No

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • SSD would be great but not if it compromises my build too much..

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • Preferably not a massive tower. I'm not going to be carrying it all the time but I am going to be moving in a few months.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • No
