You can customize your own hardware needs at this site as well. Just be on the Canada side.

Thanks.
As said, that particular video card is overkill for now in need and cost.
I am sure that the dedicated video chips are "better" then the dedicated card I have now, that's 6 years old, but if even I drop down to a 2GB card, it gets the price down around $300. In a couple years when 4k monitors comes down, I can re-up the card.
As for PSU, more power is better for future, but would a 450w be able to run something like that? Edit: Looks as if that card needs a 600W, according to the specs, so even the 550w is maybe not enough? I don't know enough about those ratings, if they're absolute or just guidelines.
In poking around the last few minutes, found a good deal on a 450w, which seems to better than most retail systems.
