Hey JSP, oldfag here who forgot his password to his old account. I'm looking to build a new computer and it's been a while since I've been up to date with the newest computer parts so I need a little help.
I'm not sure if it's worthwhile to wait for Boxing Day or Cyber Monday, do you guys think the savings will be that great?

I'm looking to build a new PC, with a new monitor. My budgets anywhere from $900-$1200.

Things to know:
Considering buying a used R9 290 for ~200, is that a good idea? http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/sop/4764811477.html
Have my own sound system so that's also taken care of.

Budget: $1400
More specific use (what games, what programs): Gaming (League/Steam/Movies)
Planned time until purchase: Gathering parts from now, Black Friday, Boxing Day, anytime
Do you need an Operating System?: No
Do you have any specific preferred components?: SSD
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Probably not? Do I?
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Stock is okay, I don't overclock my stuff, don't know how. Heard it was easy, never tried.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Probably all 3, I could reuse my mouse if budget doesn't allow for mouse as well. Preferably 23 inches of greater for my monitor (Don't need 3D)
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): Vancouver, Canada

Would love to donate some fg to anyone who helps if I had any left.
