I start working on may 1st, so my first pay check should be the following week.
I've always wanted to build myself a decent gaming PC but I never went through with the idea.
I would prefer spending around 700-1100$ max
Thing is, I've never built a computer in my life so I have no idea how to do this. Should I go against the idea because of that or it's relatively easy to do?

What I want :
- Play League of Legends and World of Warcraft with decent fps
- Decent memory space to store some of my work/school projects
- Decent RAM, Graphic card, etc.

I've heard from a couple friends that with a budget like that, I can build up a desktop that would never cause me a problem, but I just don't know where to order stuff/what parts to get.
I'm Canadian, from New-Brunswick so international shipping might be expensive, rather stay away from that.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs):
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): Canada

If you're ready, plan on buying within several days as deals/prices can and will change fairly often.

This.

Budget: 700-1100$ CAN
More specific use (what games, what programs): WoW, League of Legends, Photoshop cs5, Pokerstars, Movies, tv shows.
Planned time until purchase: 3-4 weeks
Do you need an Operating System?: Anyone would mind explaining what this does/why I would need one or not?
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Enough to run the games at a decent fps
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Both preferred if they are at a reasonable price, but wireless isn't necessary.
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Prefer stock unless overclocking is the best option, then I would have to read on how to do it properly.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Not at the moment, will probably buy better ones separately once the desktop is built.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): Canada - Edmundston, New Brunswick

Can provide my postal code if it's really necessary but would rather keep that via PM.

Anything else? Thanks for the help, didn't check those guidelines before posting Sorry.



I understand the prices variations but I just want to see what I could potentially get for my money once I actually have it haha.



I understand that the prices can vary, and I'm sorry if this is a pain for you guys.
I can re-post at a later date but I wanted to know what I could potentially get for my money, like stated above.

itd be best to bump or make a new thread three days before buying. sales come and go frequently

Alright, may as well do that.
Moderators can close the thread, thanks guys.

One last thing - I would appreciate it if someone pm'd me with a little explanation on the OS and on overclocking.
Thanks

OS: you know this as windows.
overclocking : something that you don't really need to do unless your cpu is holding back your system's performance... i wouldn't bother with overclocking personally unless i had 2 graphics cards in my computer or i did some cpu heavy tasks and i need more cpu power ( ex: running several virtual machines at the same time)
/e ppl ask if you're overclocking because they would put in their build an aftermarket cooler ( which is better then stock cooling) . you don't need to overclock to get aftermarket cooling, if you want your cpu to run cooler ( which is good)
