So the last gaming computer I built for myself is finally dying after about 5 years which I'm pretty happy about. This means it is time for me to build another.
I am looking to build a rig that will last me another 5 years and be able to run games throughout that time like my old on. I live in Canada so Canadian websites are preferred. My budget is approximately 2000$ tax included but can be adjusted if there are things that you would highly recommend. I am not looking to do water cooling and I would ideally like to be able to overclock. The list of parts I'm listing are by no means final, please suggest things. I am going to be doing a RAID setup for my media and games and SSD for the OS and other important programs. Feel free to ask me any questions about what I'm looking to do in the build. I am currently using NCIX as my start off point but if you find sites that are cheaper please let me know.
