What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

The primary focus of this PC will be gaming

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

Budget is $4500 Canadian.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

PC will be built before December.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc\)

Just the Tower itself. I am planning on a two phase upgrade, with the tower being first and then a new monitor/mouse/keyboard/speakers.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

I'm located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and do not have a Microcenter. But I do have ready access to a Memory Express. If possible, please calculate prices using the Memory Express website.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Won't be reusing any parts.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

Interested in overclocking, primarily CPU, but am open to overclocking GPU.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

I want stability and long-term performance.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

Doesn't matter to me

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

No.

Extra info or particulars:

Priority with this PC will be gaming, and component selection should prioritize FPS/stability, etc, over cost, but my budget is quite firm.
