Need help deciding what parts for a gaming pc

[liam_gleeson]

Hello, I am looking to build a gaming pc. I am located in Canada and the build will need to be in Canadian dollars. My budget is 1250 and i would like to be able to play all the new AAA games at above 60 fps on ultra 1080p. Thanks in advance!

Okay I wasn't sure, it looked like it was in stock. I tried to order one but I don't live in Canada 😀 They came out Oct. 5th and were available for about a week until they sold out. Not sure when they will be in stock again. Maybe later this month.

Some websites allow you to enter your email address to be notified when an item is in stock. I live in the U.S., so I'm unsure about Canadian websites.
