I just recently finished this build thanks to a few people. The parts were ordered through a computer store where I live, so they did cost a bit more than I would have paid ordering online. I do think it came out to just around 2,100 CAN for all the parts. Here are the specs:

Rig Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.ooGHz
Cooler: Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i
Mobo: Asus Z97-P Socket 1150
Memory: Kingston Fury 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Boots up on Kingston SSD-300S37-120GB, with a second Seagate Barracuda 2TB Internal HDD
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Power Supply: Cooler Master V650W 80+ Gold Semi-modular
Case: Carbide Series 200R Compact ATX Case

Peripherals:
2x 27" LG IPS Monitors
CM Devastator Combo keyboard + mouse
HP Officejet 6815
Logitech 200W Speakers w/Sub
iFrogz headset(you know where this was from heh)

I do plan on upgrading the GPU later on as well as when I have an extra $100, I will be buying another 8gb RAM(should be a few weeks actually). I also originally wanted a 240gb SSD, but it was out of budget, same with the 2nd storage, I wanted a 4TB, but I am fine with a 2TB. I don't need it but I just don't like the idea of not having it :tongue:

My case is nothing really. I am going to be buying a better one, but I am not sure what I want yet. I have a couple hundred left to spend on the 8gb RAM and another case.

My monitors are huge. I really have to get used of them. Luckily they only cost me around $250 each, rather than the hundreds more I could have spent on 1. I also don't need a high end mouse or keyboard, so I got a $50 combo. I really like neon green on black so it works for me :smile:

Let me know what you think.

PS. I will get a picture of the inside later, I really have to work on my cable management. :confused:

How does the GPU fair? I don't do much gaming, but I want to.
It will do great on medium/high on some of the games from the last 2/3 years. It can probably hit ultra on more older games. It could fare pretty well on games from '14-'15, something like 1080p 30fps on Ultra/high.

So if I am not that much into PC gaming, it should be good for now. I may be buying more games this summer while working. At the moment I rarely have time to play h1z1 but I still get a few hours in every few days heh

You will be good for another year and a half if you only casually play(or are only playing more indie/lower tier games). If you fire up H1Z1 and like your performance, you will be fine.

It has been good. I made a mistake and have been putting everything on my SSD so I have to uninstall some unimportant stuff later and move them to my secondary HDD. I haven't overclocked yet, am kind of sketchy about it heh
