Gaming / General Use Rig?

[Karomome]

Hey so I wanna buy some parts for a gaming computer, I got 1200$ budget but I'd like to keep it around 1100$ for shipping in canada.. I have a x-star 1440p monitor and peripherals to use so I don't need them..

My goal is to get a computer that can play BF4 on high-ultra on that resolution and guild wars 2 without too many problems.


I haven't built a computer since the sandybridge cpu's were out and to ok a lil break from computers for awhile and now I wanna come back and all this new stuff is out and I just don't know whats the shit anymore haha

Budget: 1100-1200$
Resolution: 2560x1440p
Games / Settings Desired: WoW, Guildwars 2, BF4, Payday, GTA High - Ultra
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) - Photoshop
Country - Canada
Parts that can be reused - Disc Reader, and I'm going to scavenge a 500gb HDD
Do you need an OS? No
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? No

as u can see its almost 1200$ but in my oppinion u really should go for the 250gb ssd. if there is no way u will go over 1100 then u can replace the ssd with the samsung evo 120 gb.
i did put the gpu in as a placeholder. u definitely should wait for the new amd cards.
