Hey guys, sorry for the inactivity As some of you may have already found out, I'm building my very first computer next week (or I'm going to Canada Computers to get my parts). I've decided on what parts I want, but I feel feedback is very important. Here is a list of what my computer build is: CPU Intel - Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor $151.17 Motherboard MSI - B150M Pro-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $86.99 Memory Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory $93.99 Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $59.95 Video Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card $374.99 Case NZXT - S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case $94.99 Power Supply EVGA - 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply $54.99 Total - $917.07 CDN So there it is. The prices listed are how much they are being sold (cheapest) on online retailers such as amazon Canada, so it might alter, especially at Canada Computers, but my goal is to build one for around or less than $1000 CDN excluding tax (which is 13% HST). I wouldn't bother me if it reaches $1100 CDN, but I want to avoid it if necessary. I'm sort of confused as of whether I should upgrade the i3 - 6100 to a i5 - 6600 for about $140 CDN more, and would like your guys' opinion. My siblings recommend that I do exactly that. Also forgot to mention, my goal is to run most, if not all, AAA games at 1080p ultra settings at 60fps. I'm not interested in 120 Hz, or 1440p, just 1080p 60fps or higher. I am not planning on overclocking the CPU. The CD-ROM is not added because I will be taking it from my no-longer-working Optiplex, as it is still functional. For the ram, I want to know if there may be more powerful sticks that aren't MUCH more expensive than what is already listed. I might buy LED strips to make it look fancy, because honestly what is gaming if there isn't any RGB Lastly, I am not interested in buying any AMD cards. I am a fan of AMD themselves, but I just want to have my build to hold a GTX 1060 6gb as it has many high reviews and not too many complaints. Thanks for the feedback to whoever replies <3 , Wienie P.S. if you find any parts and are not sure what the price is in Canada, just go to https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/ , create a build, and just type in your part name. It lists all the prices based off different websites and what they are selling it for. P.S.S. I am also aware that the price on pcpartpicker will most probably not be accurate to what it may be in actual stores, but it gives a rough idea. I will be holding some extra cash in case. P.S.S.S. Yes I know about the GPU price spike from the cryptominers, but Canada Computers is selling there graphics card for around its normal price range (375 bucks CDN for the graphics card I'm buying). I might just check on them just in case. P.S.S.S.S. sorry if the format is wacky -
Hey guys, Im looking into building a new pc for a fresh start, with new hard and software. I have been browsing around a bit and and looking at parts. The games i'd really like to play with some normal settings so it is playable with some good fps are fallout 4 and gta 5. My budget is not determined yet but i'd like something not too high, so i started searching for some cheaper but kind of high end builds and would like to know if any of you know if these are some good builds or not. these are the two I found most recently and would like to get some info about as im not that much of an expert on building pc's. http://www.gamersnexus.net/pc-builds/2164-budget-gaming-pc-build-for-fallout-4 http://www.gamersnexus.net/pc-builds/2218-mid-range-gaming-pc-build-diy any help is appreciated and if you have a similar or better build for a similar price you can always post it here for others and me to look at!

Shopping for a new Gaming PC. I would build one myself but I don't want my nooby hands to touch and break anything expensive. So far I've come up with these two machines. MSI Gaming Laptop - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014QSTWKK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A3EEXTUSWX65VP ASUS Gaming Desktop - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016E803VM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Any differences? 960 or 970M? One is more recent, one is less powerful. Which processor is better, is there any difference? I've never had a gaming laptop so I don't know if they generate a lot of heat or what. Help me out so I can get back to gaming guys!!

Hey everyone! Day 15 of my adventure, it's been awhile since I've posted, so I guess the "daily post" is invalid. Anyway, if you're like me, you spend most of your money on protein bars and Mountain Dew. You're probably not like me, though. But if you're tight on money and still looking for a decent gaming computer that will run ANY game on at least low graphics, try this build out. (This is going to be my future build, so I don't know how well it ACTUALLY works, but I've seen review for all of the parts) CPU AMD FX 4300 RAM G. Skill(1X4GB) 1600 GPU SAPPHIRE Radeon R7 280X 2GB MTHRBRD ASUS M5A78L-M HDD Western Digital WD Blue 1TB CASE NZXT Source 210 PSU Corsair CX 500 This is a base build, by the way. You can change whatever you'd like. For instance, I already know I'm swapping out the 1TB HDD for a 500GB, and swapping 4GB of RAM for 8GB. Play around with it and tell me what you guys think! ~Mr. Grimm, The Grimm Train

this is my setup right now i have the laptop hooked up to the monitor through a HDMI, the laptop is surprisingly not to shabby i played through Bioshock Infinite on medium high settings and was running 30 FPS and occasionally would drop down to 24 in some areas. resolution (1366x768) I don't think i could get the 30 FPS with my monitor i have now its full 1080p resolution. i recently bought the monitor and keyboard, i will be buying the rest of the components to build a PC soon its going to have a i5 3.4 GHz quad core that boost to 3.8 LGA1155 Nvidia 660Ti WD 1 Tb HD 600 watt power supply 2 x 4 Gb G.skill ram sticks NZXT guardian tower Gigabyte Motherboard LGA1155 socket So that is what my computer will have in it my brother has built a few PC's and will be helping me get this bad boy put together!
