Hi everyone, i've been doing quite a bit of research lately and I look to purchase a computer in about mid July. This PC will be mainly used for home/office/gaming. So, in any case, im not looking to build a super high performance machine. My allotted budget is around $1200-1300 CDN. As I'm for this type of process i'm fairly new to it; first time custom - building. Could someone please lend me a hand and decide whats best for my needs? I have a rough outline, but it will cost too much money! These prices are from newegg.ca
P.S.: I would like to have an i7 processor and a decent video card.
