Build a new gaming PC

[ch4rl13]

Hey guys

As I moved over to Canada I want to build a new gaming PC. As I just have seen, I probably did it wrong. So, here's to correct version.

Approximate Purchase Date: probably this week

Budget Range: hard to say as I don't have any experience with the Canadian price. Would say around 1200-1400CAD (without monitor)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming (Rainbow Six: Siege, Overwatch, The Witcher etc.)

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I need a new one (FullHD, 24")

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I have no idea, probably Amazon.

Location: Bridge Lake, BC, Canada

Parts Preferences: nope

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: I'd go with a 1920x1080. Should be enough.

Additional Comments: I don't want to have any bling on my computer. Not the fans, not the case, nothing. It should be a silent one though.

What I already have: keyboard and mouse

So, I hope this is better now.
Thanks in advance
Charlie

Trying to stay in budget this is what I came up with

Ok, thanks for those 2 lists. Can you recommend a tower cooler aswell?

That's a pretty good one. Though it's not entirely necessary with either build

Better than most, especially since they aren't Ocing.

Was just meaning the stock cooler is pretty good on the 2600x and the locked Intel won't need it either

The Intel Coolers aren't that great really.

 

[Supahos]

No they're boardline aweful but will keep a locked processor cool enough if installed correctly

They used to be pretty good, but with the newer CPU's the REAL TDP is MUCH higher than 95W so....

I do admittedly have my 3350p oced 300mhz above max boost on the stock cooler "whoops"

 

[ch4rl13]

Cool, thanks. One last question for today. Why is there this huge price difference of the both graphic cards? I just looked up some benchmarks and they tend to deliver more or less the same amount of fps.

 

[Supahos]

Because Nvidia likes to overcharge

 

[ch4rl13]

Hehe. Ok, thanks to both of you.

The cooler isnt available :-/ Is there any else you could recommend? Btw I probably go with the AMD setup. Would a downblower maybe be a better option then?

Would this one be a good one? Kinda expensive imo :-/
