I am getting a new gaming pc in the next month or two which I am hoping will remain a viable mid-high end for at least 3 years before needing an upgrade. I have a $3000 budget in Canada. I've built my own pc on ibuypower.com and would like to know if this rig will meet my objective and whether I am getting enough bang for my buck? Unfortunately they do not provide price per part:

*Taxes and Duty at the border will eat up most of the rest of my budget. I added the sound card for the optical audio in because i will be using a ps3 in the same monitor which is a 27in Samsung LED 1080p. Both the PC and PS3 will connect into Logitech 500 W RMS 5.1. Internet will be wired.
