Similar to my thread from last year. (The computer is still amazing btw!) http://www.staredit.net/topic/16081/

Looking for a good all around dual monitor computer. Using it mainly for playing games, programming, watching videos, streaming on Twitch and regular computer use.

Right now, I have a laptop which I pretty much never move around therefore I made the choice to get a tower this time around.

Budget: 1000$ to 1500$ (flexible). I am still in Canada. (Not sure if it's the best time to buy. I think prices will go down next week on Black Friday?)

I have no monitor, no keyboard.

I remember last year I felt pretty comfortable at making builds (or at least I felt I understood which part was better and why), now it look like alien stuff all over again.

Made this before I realized you wanted the monitors included in the build price:

Swap out the GTX 970 for a GTX 770 and you'll be in budget.

More budget friendly:

If you're gonna get a more expensive keyboard, go mechanical. Otherwise the K120 will do right by you.

I edited the first build to buy from NCIX only since I can just price match from other vendors. I noticed the build's cost went up by around 500$ around the end of October. I take it if wait a little, the price will go back down?

The price jump is because the GTX 970 didn't exist until late October.

With the deals going on, just noticed these two cards:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 OC 4GB 7.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 OC 1216MHZ 4GB 7.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI 3XDISPLAYPORT PCI-E Video Card

What's the difference? They seem pretty much the same except for the fans?

Different form factor (310mm vs 170mm), different clock speeds (1.11GHz vs 1.08GHz), different coolers (Windforce vs something else). The former does better at cooling and probably performs just slightly better, and the latter is compact and ideal for ITX builds.

Changed the SSD, the monitors, the RAM, the motherboard.

For the graphics card, I assume the larger one would work? Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 OC 4GB 7.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card

Yeah, it will work. I don't personally recommend Gigabyte for a graphics card because I had a bad experience with them, but as long as you don't get a defective card like I did, you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Also, for the same price, the R4 is an excellent case: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-case-fdcadefr4bl

Final build v1.0:

Had to changed the CPU Cooler as the other one wasn't available anymore. Unless something else changes before tomorrow, this is what I'll be buying. I should be able to price match everything at NCIX.
