My daughter has expressed an interest in building a pc. I figure it will be a fun experience for us and we are do for an upgrade anyway.
So I'm looking for a "best bang for my buck" kind of deal. This will be used for casual gaming, photo and video editing, internet, movie watching etc. Just an all purpose desktop pc that can play games as well.
This is the shopping cart I have picked out so far. I also have a 120gb SSD that I will be bringing from my old desktop.
Is this the best bang for my buck? Am I paying too much? Any problematic items in the list I should avoid?
Keep in mind these are Canadian prices, probably 25-30% higher than US prices.
Thanks for your help.
