budget is 1500 CAD including a monitor. I will be buying this week most likely.

Thanks in advance,

Just be aware that you may need the BIOS update.

cool. Now I need to pull the trigger...im such a cheap bastard

Yeah. I would consider the 650W Focus Gold. You should be ok with the one you picked though.

Good idea for the RAM, thanks. As for the case, I already switched to the Corsair 200R.

Debating also If I keep my old Samsung 2494HM monitor... 60hz 5ms...not the best for gaming lol

Honestly I still game at 60hz.
Yes its true a 144 will improve your skill but not much over a user at 60hz thats used to it.
I'll eventually jump to 144hz but not while its 5-600$ a panel and I use 3 panels frequently.
(mine usually cost extra cause I need vesa mounting on them).

If your a single monitor guy then make the jump imo.
If dual monitor guy then be ready to buy 2 or only use one while gaming.
