Hello /wsr/, I'm in the process of ordering parts for a new comp to replace my aging Phenom II 720 + 5870 rig that can hardly run things at low nowadays. I've got these parts picked up after doing research, but I'm worried I've missed something and I'll end up wasting my already airtight budget. This setup costs 1313$ canadabux, 4$ less than my allotted budget. Any improvements to be made, or costs to be cut? Every part listed needs to be replaced in my current machine, for certain. Thanks.

First I would work on your mouse. You can get a better mouse for ALOT less. Also check around for RAM I'm pretty sure you can get better for cheaper even.
Lastly I would check your CPU and maybe get one a bit cheaper, or try a AMD card. Everything else looks fine however
Best of luck anon.

For the mouse I just went off of Tomshardware recommendation. The last mouse I bought was a first gen Razer Naga and it's the worst mouse I've ever used, so I didn't trust my own judgement. I'll take a look around for better RAM, thanks. I'm not sure if I want to downgrade the processor, though if I have to that's definitely somewhere I can cut 40$ from.

I got a $20 Anchor mouse and it suits me just find.Even matches my keyboard. As for RAM I think I payed $60 or $70 for 16 GB. And I think you might be better off with a i3 if you're going for a budget Intel CPU.

Are you Canadian? If not, keep in mind our dollar is completely tanked at the moment, cheapest 16gb of RAM on newegg is 100$. Newegg is really the only site I know to use, gonna research NCIX or whatever it is right now.

No, American. I got my parts on either Newegg or Amazon. Or the company actual website.

I paid a 5$ premium on the RAM purely because its red and fits my case/LED design. 5$ one way or the other isn't going to affect my budget in any meaningful way.

I haven't checked Amazon yet. I haven't done any online purchases basically since I built the computer I'm using now, so there's probably a few sites I haven't thought to check.
Checking Amazon and NCIX prices nearly gave me cancer. Then I checked local stores, and I will so no more on that. Looks like newegg is the way to go in Canada.
