Hey all,

I recently asked for a gaming pc build at the same price but didn't mention that I live in Canada. So when I picked my answer I didn't realize some components can cost a lot more in Canada than in the US.

Strictly a gaming PC. Play games from MMO's, to Skyrim to BF4 at High settings at least at 1080 if at all possible at my budget.

I have a monitor and all the other items and will get the OS separately.

Thanks for the help.

Turns out that the CPU was too good to be true. I received an email this morning from the seller about them cancelling my order, the price was a "system error".

Any other suggestions for a build or different CPU? Thanks.
