This is what ive come up with but its a little on the pricey side, im aiming for around 1600 after taxes.

Im from toronto (for shipping sake) and plan on building this thing boxing day.

I was wondering if you guys could help

dont need 2 cpu coolers
and you should aim at 2x8gb ram if going 16gb

just saw that lol changed both

looks good

wait for others opinions I guess

ur build total was like 16xx before taxes, so i tried to make it close to that

few things i'd give advise on,
u could get the same CPU cooler for cheaper if ur willing to do rebate, it just comes with a LED fan instead of their default one.
i'd normally recommend asus a board too cuz the price is good for perf/quality etc. for americans, but for Canada it's overpriced for it so paying $5 extra for a higher tier mobo would be more worth/ideal thing to do. Power supply is alright, but for $150 u could do a lot better and get evga's 850w with 10yr warranty, made by superflower.
feel free to change ram to a different red one if u dont like led's on ram.
u could probably get a samsung SSD for around $100 on boxing day, otherwise i'd just go for the mx 300 from crucial for more storage.
case is ur preference, but idk if u've seen that case in person cuz it's a lot bigger than u think and not everyone likes a huge case.
it's definitely one of the best cases out there though.
here's the alternative one https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/yLDzK8/fractal-design-case-fdcadefsbkw it's pretty much similar but the size of case is "normal" that most people are used to.
case in my link is a pretty good case as well, especially for the cost in overpriced canadian case market. Also another bonus it's silent edition for same price as the normal one, and they're both on gg sale atm. Comes with solid design, wire management etc. check it out especially if ur into some blingbling.
the entire build gonna be lit af in red, just add msi dragons somewhere for the extra over9000 fps boost, and u can show off that big e dik.

u got red blingbling from cpu fan, mobo, ram, gpu, case

My only comment would be to take a close look at the features of that motherboard VS a lesser one

I spent many years building gaming computers with the mid-range mobo's in the <$100 range and never had a problem with minor overclocks and features

Moved to the $200ish 990fx a few years back and its great, looks awesome, has a ton of features, but (and heres the moral) I use next to none of those features since I don't really care to do the "to the limits" overclock, I run at most 2 graphics cards, shit like that

So you could easily look at saving yourself $50-75 by just not getting that motherboard if you don't truly plan to utilize it




On the other hand, Intel motherboards tend to run pricy anyways... so everything I said could be null :-D
