Looking into getting a new computer

So I’m wanting a new computer as I wouldn’t mind being able to run games better, record, etc. I’m willing to build my own, but I don’t know much about this stuff, although I do know you guys do =P. My price range is around $1000 and it has to be able to be shipped or is sold in Canada. I appreciate the help in advance <3.

Look at some of the the HPE line of PCs. I have an HPE-270f desktop, with 8GB RAM with an i7 930 processor. It’s pretty good, but just a suggestion.

It is all green/black, aswell, as per request.

[size=14pt]Nice build! H440 and GTX 970 there. I use the GTX 970 myself and it is a BEAAAAAAST!

I wouldn’t recommend HP. Their $999.99 PC only features a GTX 640 plus u get all those slow in built (so called) features by HP.

Yo sacred man I found you the perfect PC:

It even comes with a spiffy desk setup:

Dat floppy though

No objection to John’s build. I might consider getting a cheaper vid card if only because you can upgrade later if needed. The 900 series is nice though… I’d get it.

Updated Rig($1500 CAD):

Sac upped his budget.

I run a $200 AMD FX-8350 with a $180 Asus R9 270. It runs Minecraft and everything else I throw at it quite good with max settings. Even with shaders, it can keep 30 FPS.

Paid for the build John had made, but readded the SSD that he originally had on there and upgraded to 16GB of RAM. Can’t wait for this to arrive <3 Thanks again John! :smiley:

No problemo!
