Hi all, I`m new here and I am in the middle of trying to build my first computer for gaming. My budget is to stay under $1200 including all fees, taxes, shipping etc. I am Canadian so please take that into account! I put together a computer largely based on what others have been posting but i have made a few adjustments. if you could look at it and recommend anything to make it cheaper or more efficient I would greatly appreciate it. I don`t even know what brand or manufacturer are good in each category.

If it looks terribly bad, I would appreciate any builds that you guys would suggest. I am very new at this and don`t really have anyone to turn to. Thanks in advance!
