$1350CAD Build for Gaming/Audio Editing, And a Worrysome Amount of Netflix...

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • Gaming (Fallout 4 is the big priority, and probably going to be the most intense. Skyrim maybe?); Audio Editing is very important too, likely through Audition; basic photo editing through Photoshop; basic video editing through something like MeVideo; Lots of Netflix and what not.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • I’m comfortable spending as high as $1,350 CAD, or a little over $1,000 USD

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Within in the next week

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • The pc will be run into my 720p television, through HDMI; I’ve also already got a keyboard/mouse (USB)

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, no microcenter.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • I’ve got a windows wireless keyboard and mouse leftover from my dead laptop, and an off-brand xbox controller I’ll do most of the gaming with.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • I’d rather not.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • An SSD, HDMI output, a wireless network receiver, and if possible, 16gigs of RAM. Note that video quality is not my top priority, and am more than willing to sacrifice video quality for higher performance (television this will run off of is only 720p, and a desk w/ monitor is not an option at this time)

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • I’m partial to black, but not remotely picky.

Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?

  • Nope!

Extra info or particulars:

  • Thank you for your help!! I’m quite new to this whole process.
