Gaming pc for $800

[ross__J]

I have gotten tired of trying to play games on my old laptop, I simply can't handle the lag. Therefore I decided I want a custom build but I had no idea what to chose as my parts, so I turned to Tom's.

Important information:

My budget is $800

I live in Canada in Toronto so please try to get Canadian prices and stores.

I don't need monitor, keyboard and mouse, RAM (I have corsair vengeance pro 8gb DDR3 socket 1155) and optical drive

I need OS though.

I will be using the this mostly for gaming but also some school work and Internet surfing.

I might overclock

Thanks for taking the time to answer this .

Using an AMD FX-6300 processor it would be in budget, but the i3 will perform better for everyday tasks that are not multi-threaded.

Otherwise there is really no other compromise with an EVO SSD and a 7950 graphics card.

May you please post the AMD version so I can see it?
