Hey everyone so I'm wanting to make myself a whole new computer. Now I know how to put one together but I'm not all that great with knowing what's what for pats and types of hardware.  So I need advice on what to buy what goes good together. I want to spend about 1000 and am willing to spend 500 or a little more on a gpu. Any help would be much appreciated thx.

Also Should I wait on buying an expensive GPU? Say till the cheaper cousins of the titan come out?

You dont need a 500$ gpu unless you want to play at resolutions higher than 1080p. A hd7950 wich is around 300$ will be fine. Add to that a good i5 cpu  like the 3570k, or the 3770k and you will be future proof.

I live in canada so ya the canadian dollar would be the currancy. Im willing to spend about a 1000. I want a machine that is going to be able to last for the next few years no problems.

Here is my advice, post this in the hardware forums where it belongs.

Better advice: Go to a legit PC hardware site and ask their forums. GS Hardware section is pretty pitiful. Some terrible advice being given there on a regular basis.
