Looking to build a gaming/recording pc that will last for a few years for $1000ish.

Hi all,

I'm looking to build a pc for gaming and audio recording. I mainly play league of legends now, but will likely soon start playing pc rpg games.

I'd like to run dolphin emulator at 1080p. I would also like to use it for audio recording with my firewire audio interface. I'd like a small ssd as well for games.

I live in Canada, so a pc parts picker list from Canadian stores would be useful.

Thanks for the help!


Edit: here's a rig I've set up.

I don't see the need for the video card but I just put it in since your budget is high and I'll give you that.

NOTE: this is not the best $1000 gaming rig I can build. I know it sucks for $1000 gaming but his main priorities are latest rpg's and audio recording.

For emulation you will need a bit more space than a cheap ssd can offer for storing the ISO's. The graphics cards we have all chosen are a bit overkill for this kind of usage. If you want to go a little cheaper go for the GTX 750ti 2GB. You also didn't mention if you needed an OS so thats on their. And BTW LOL wont get any performance gains from an SSD trust me I tried, thats all about your internet connection, and CPU for loading games.
