Where in Canada are you?

what is your price range?

Good parts, but I know alot better shops/retailers here then ibuypower

Also, the titan gpu is a ripoff..dont waste the 900-1000 dollars

Do you want to build yourself or have it built and shipped..?
 
I would rather get it from a website, (I know it costs more) thanks for the offer though. I was wondering if you know any reliable sites for computers.
(unless you meant that that guy has an online shop)

Yes, that's why I was recommending him, he's a friend..but he has a website and an actual store..plus close enough to T.O. that you could pickup, if you wanted..
 
This is my opinion but I don't think spending that much money is worth it at all. Yeah it's absolute top of the line but if you spent say 2000 dollars it would still last you a very long time without all the overkill. Then when it's old and dying you can spend another 2000 and have it last just as long. Overall you'll get more longevity if you don't totally blow all your money at once. Besides if you were to rebuild down the line you could reuse parts such as your PSU, Case, and possibly Hard Drives.

Just my thoughts.

I agree 100%

$4000 is a complete waste of money...however...not my money, so I look forward to seeing the pictures when its done~!!:)
 
Lol That PC could be built for $2500 at most if you do it yourself, OP. DO NOT BUY. And if you must buy prebuilt, do it from a boutique like Maingear, not crappy iBuyPower.
 
Build it yourself.

As said before, the Titan is a rip off, go GTX 780 instead to save some money but not really compromise performance too much.

Get a 256GB SSD too and I'm not a fan of Corsair SSDs. I like SanDisk, OCZ, Samsung, Intel and Crucial the most.
