Hey Tom's Hardware Community! I'm new here and I just want some feedback on the build I am buying in the near future.

I researched for about a month, and this is what I am planning on purchasing. They are all currently on sale at stores I can access. Is there anything wrong or non-compatible with my build? I am pretty sure this is the best performance I can get for my budget in Canada. Thoughts and opinions are welcome!

I also plan on upgrading my mouse+keyboard and found this steal of a deal from Cooler Master. For $20, a good-looking and generic keyboard and mouse from a trusted brand like Cooler Master seems like a good deal.

I made a few changes to your build, got a better motherboard an a better Video Card, cutting on some parts where you didn't really need to spend that much. So here is what I ended up with, and I do believe that is pretty much the best you can get for your money at this price range :

Thanks for the quick reply and modifications!

For the case, is the Antec One a good value? I am looking for decent cable management and appearance. Cases I have researched are the NZXT Source 210 which is rising hellishly in price but is a great case in general, the Rosewill Challenger which includes many fans including a blue LED one, as well as has good cable management, the Antec Three Hundred Two which has a large open space at the back of the case for cable routing, and the Corsair 200R.
 
You can change my case to any other that you like, just make sure that it has a front panel usb 3.0 port. The Corsair 200R is a great one. But I do believe that with it, it gets a bit above your budget. The case that I recommended you is good, but for its price. Obviously, there's a lot of better options if you're open to pay more...
