Building my first computer

[raureru]

Hi there,

This is my first time building my own computer. I want to have a really good gaming machine, as well as a faster machine for 3D rendering.

It will be running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

If anyone could give me any feedback on the parts that I'm looking at it would be greatly appreciated, or recommend other parts that may be better. (preferably a bit lower in price, lol, I'm at the top of what I'm willing to spend.)

All right then, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you very much.

That's USD compared to CAD.

Assuming the OP posted parts from NCIX in Canadian dollars, then Newegg.ca would be needed.

Thank you for noticing that. All the parts that I am purchasing will need to be in Canadian dollars.
