Hi,
Im currently looking into building my first computer and was hoping for some recommendations from you guys! This computer is first and foremost a gaming computer. I want to be able to play top of the line games like Battlefield 3 at fairly high settings in 1920x1080. I think I have most things figured out already, but I still need a couple suggestions! I'd also love any suggestions or improvements that you guys would have on what I've already assembled! My final budget would hopefully be around the 1000$ mark, but that is also flexible.
So far here's what I've got!
1TB Western Digital Blue HD (70$)

128GB Samsung 840Pro SSD (140$)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192
2x4GB Corsair DDR3 Ram (60$)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
Intel i5 3570k 3.4Ghz Quadcore (LGA 1155) (230$)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
Gigabyte HD 7950 3GB (300$)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414
( Previously MSI Geforce GTX 660ti 2GB (340$))
Current total for the above is around 800$.
What do you guys think of that set up? Will it be able to play what I want too? Is the CPU of GPU too much of an overkill? Does the RAM brand/type really matter?
I'd also like suggestions for:
motherboard - I mostly don't know what to look for in those
Power supply - see above
CD drive - are they really necessary anymore? like for initial installation of drivers?
Case- easily fit everything with nice cable management and plenty of airflow
Fans - Will I need any extra fans to add? I guess this also will depend on the case
Monitor- 1920x1080, would be nice to play movies on as well (this price is not included in my final budget)
I know it's a lot, especially for my first post, but any suggestions you guys have would be much appreciated! Also, any sites with deals that I should keep an eye on for these products would be great!
