I'm ordering tonight, and I'm Canadian.
I want the best performance for gaming possible. That's the main reason for this computer. I want an SSD for my OS. I already have Windows 8, a moniter, keyboard, and mouse. So I'm good there. I'd like a good looking case. Not some boring black one. I'd also like to get it all from one site.
What is the use of this computer? Gaming/scholwork.
If you're a gamer what kind of games will you be playing? Many different games. (Minecraft, BF4, Racing games, etc.
Are you a heavy multitasker & gamer? Or Just gamer only? Just a gamer.
What's your budget? $1000 CDN
How much storage space is adequate enough for you? 1tb + and 120gb or 128gb SSD.
How long do you want this rig to last? A few years, I'll also upgrade in the future.
Will you overclock? If so how far? Not right away, maybe later when I feel comfortable doing it lol.
Do you need a monitor or other accessories? No I don't.
Thanks!

FINALLY I GET TO USE NEWEGG.CA!
Here's your build, with that SSD you wanted and everything else I could squeeze in. Say what you like about the i5 4440, if you can afford an i5, get an i5.
Total: $984.91 (on newegg.ca)
Optical Drive [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Fractal Core 3000 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
1TB WD Blue [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Hive 650w [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
GSkill 8GB RAM [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
MSI B85-G41 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
i5 4440 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Kingston 120GB SSD [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Gigabyte R9 280X [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Wouldn't go AMD for this situation.

Thanks. I might expand my budget a bit just to get [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] if you think going i5 is the best route.

You cannot overclock with the i5 4670 processor it is a locked version. You stated that you would like to overclock later. So get the i5 4670k and it will be unlocked so you can overclock. Make sure you have a good processor cooler though, like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Enjoy building it!

Sorry for the double post.
Also if you do overclock you would need a new MOBO to.

Yeah, There is really no need to over clock with the build you have, unless you really want the best you can get out of your parts. Just go with the First build but with the i5 4670. But remember if you do want to overclock you cant. You would have to buy Another i5 4670 but the "k" version (i5 4670k) and a diffrent mobo.

Alright. I honestly don't think I'll overclock. Thanks for the help.
