Low Budget Gaming Computer

[coltonjoed]

Looking for a somewhat low budget gaming computer that has a GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB graphics card and at least a Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core Processor, or something around the same quality.

My Budget is ~$1200 Canadian. I am in Vancouver, BC.

Are you looking for the system completely built, or a possible parts list to assemble yourself? Are you certain you require a 980 Ti? What resolution/games/refresh rate will you be playing at? The more details I have, the more I can help.

I'm looking for parts to build it myself. I don't 100% need a 980 Ti, but I would prefer it because I already have one and it's one less thing to buy. I'm playing PUBG, Rust, Far Cry 5 at the moment. I also have a monitor so I don't have to worry about that.

So your budget is 1200 CAD without factoring in the 980 Ti? If so, you can go QUITE a long way with your setup.

Here's what I'd recommend:

You also have the option of going with the 8700, thus getting more threads, but losing out on overclocking/higher frequencies

at some point i would sell the 980 ti and go with the faster 11xx cards after they come out.
