I'm helping a Canadian with their first build so I've helped guide the part picking. I wanted to post it here and see if anybody can find any major problems, ways to improve the build, or lower the cost without compromising quality.

Budget is approximately $1500. The computer will be used for gaming on 1080p or lesser monitors.
Not overclocking.

lose windows
lose dvd drive

literally nobody buys those
and lose the 970
1070 our in 3 weeks

Wait until mid june

In 3 weeks? in Canada? i cant even find a price quote for it in Canada.

Really not wanting to wait. Currently dealing with a broken video card and wanting to get a new computer soon. Is buying the 970 now a terrible idea? is there a better alternative?

Who knows when those 1070s will hit Canadian suppliers, it could be mid summer for all we know? and how much they will cost? (everything costs more in Canada).

they cost $379 USD and release internationally on June 10th

its like 380 usd
for like 40-50% more performance

1070 probably going to cost between 450 and 480 CAD

Here,.. buy 1070 when it comes out and get this:
