Hi! I'm looking to upgrade/replace almost all the parts in my gaming PC to be able to play all the games coming out in the next few years in max settings with very high FPS. Also for livestreaming and video editing. I'm a noob when it comes to hardware.

If anyone could suggest what I should get for the best bang for my buck that would be amazing. I want it to last for years and still be very high end. I also live in Canada. So NewEgg.ca or other Canadian retailers for suggestions would be epic. (I know it's a lot to ask. Huge kudos to anyone who does this for me)

Things I'd like to have:
-New i7 processor (high end)
-A 500 GB SSD
-More RAM (for video editing/livestreaming)
-New nVidia video card (high end)
-New PSU and mobo (if needed)

And I need all of these to fit in my current case which I listed below. (I'll be getting someone else to install them)

Budget: $2000

My current specs:
I currently have an Antec 902 case: http://store.antec.com/Product/enclosure-gear_for_gamers/nine-hundred-two/0-761345-15920-3.aspx

Cooler Master 600W PSU
MSI P67A-GD53 MB
Intel i5 2400k Sandy Bridge
8 GBs HyperX 1600 DDR3
Sparkle nVidia GTX560 1GB GDDR5
DVDRW
WD 1TB Green 64MBs Cache
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Massive thanks for the reply Sn1992 ^ - I live in Canada so I'll have to pay a bit more than you listed to get it all to me but it looks like it would just about be in my budget range. The build looks good to me but I don't know the most about this stuff as I mentioned.

Can anyone vouch for the parts he chose or offer an alternate opinion? Huge thanks again.
