Hello all! Around September i'm going to be building my second computer! the first one was kind of laid out for me, and all the parts were picked. but now i'm picking them myself, and its probably only going to be a 1000 dollar gaming build. so, what i'm asking you all is, is there anything i could get that's a better bang for my buck? here is what i have so far.

CPU: AMD FX 8320
CPU cooling: H80i
Mobo: Asus M5A99X EVO
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4)
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 650 Ti boost
Power supply: EVGA nex650g (i liked the 10 year warranty haha)
HDD: seagate 1tb barracuda
Case: Fractal design Arc Midi R2


Not everything is set in stone, but thats what i like so far. i also plan to SLI down the road, and get a SSD in later, but both those happening at Tax returns. but would that run optimal with demanding games?

(I Should also add i am From Canada, so anything would have to be in Canadian pricing)
