Hey all, I'm finally at the point where I'm able to upgrade from my ~7 year old "Gaming" laptop to a fully fledged system. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. If there's anything that needs clarification, just let me know.
Budget - $2200 CAD (incl shipping/taxes)
Resolution - 1980x1080
Games / Settings Desired - Pretty much everything from WoW (High pop, 25-man raiding, high-ultra) to games like Witcher 3, Titanfall, ESO, Watch Dogs etc. Ideally, I'd like to play these games on atleast high settings.
Any other intensive software or special things you do - Level/Game design, things like Unity/UDK etc.
Country - Canada
Parts that can be reused - None.
Do you need an OS? - Yes.
Do you need peripherals - Monitor, Keyboard.
EDIT: Current build candidate.
