That's a good build. I added it up and you are under budget. Any reason you are still sticking with a 560ti on a gaming build?

A lot of Canadians use those two sites to save money on shipping fee's. They both ship out of the same office in Richmond, BC.

 

[Zaodyak]

would it worth to upgrade the gpu

 

[TheBigTroll]

its the difference between playing games on high-ultra and maxing out games on 1080p

 

[dish_moose]

Best Direct and Driect Canada - very safe - quite fast - good price. YES the GTX670 will make your gaming experience!!!!
-Bruce (Canadian)

 

[Zaodyak]

i dont think i can fit the gtx670 in my budget tough

 

[TheBigTroll]

well then, you can fit a 7850. it performs like a 570

 

[Zaodyak]

cool case, ill try to make a new build with those parts and where i can get with 1500, thanks alot

 

[Zaodyak]

ive been looking into this one few time, like the gtx 480 at 225$ but wasnt sure for this one because noise/overheating

 

[Why_Me]

i dont think i can fit the gtx670 in my budget tough

Will the programs you use benefit from hyper threading?

 

[TheBigTroll]

yeah the 480 my friend has can fry his breakfast when he puts a tray ontop of the card

 

[Zaodyak]

i think ill have to delay to monday...to much parts to compare, at least im happy to have posted here, i may get somthing lot better for the same price. Thanks to everyone. Ill post new build when ill be done

 

[Zaodyak]

If i use Corsair Carbide Series 400R tough ill need to buy more 120 mm fan any1 can like me good quality one?

 

[Zaodyak]

Will the programs you use benefit from hyper threading?

seriously i dont think so, it was more for multitasking, i alwasy have alots of wep page, visual studio, sql manager and an other few program running when im working

 

[TheBigTroll]

if you are multi-tasking, RAM helps usually

 

[Zaodyak]

should be alright with 16

FInal price is 1560, note that all price are rounded up, i only hope that directCanada doesnt calculate taxes only at the end...what do you think about it

forgot to ask about asrock Mobo, people recommended me gigabyte and asus alot... and im not sure i have enough power with that PSU or enough connector to connect all fan ect. im a real noob with all those thing, ill know once ill have to build it i gess

 

[Why_Me]

$450 for a gtx 670? Something's wrong with that. I see those cards for for $400 - $420 all the time. A 550w psu will power that build, I just threw the 620w in there because it was modular and only $5 more than the XFX 550w.

Also you can lower that price if you go with 4x4GB set of RAM. 16GB is a lot of RAM and I doubt you will need more in the future. That build looks solid, just cut the cost some with the gpu and RAM.

That Asus card I posted over clocks higher than most card due to it's non reference cooling. But there's an EVGA on Direct Canada going for $410 also.

 

[Zaodyak]

oh, good to know, didnt know i could OC Gpu myself, the asus u linked is great then
