Hey everyone! This is my first time building a computer and these are the parts I picked out (with a lot help from many already)!
It is going to be a budgeted gaming computer, I live in Canada and shipping is a nightmare from us to Canada so i pick out all of these at a Canadian website (newegg.ca), and I need help with just checking if all these would work together nicely. Cheers!

]Well, for the compatibility, you can visit this site, http://pcpartpicker.com
Fill in everything you need, keep it under the price you want, when you are done filling it in, (make an account) link us to the permalink of said list. People will e able to better understand the components and everything if you do it this way.
It seems to be a decent build for a decent price, but upgrade the power supply, though yours is sufficient, having a better power supply will benefit you in the future. I'm clearly not a pro, wait for some more experienced member to come and check your setup out before you buy!

My $1,300 USD setup (for reference maybe) http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jagyir/saved/2VGG

Monitor http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236174 if thats too pricey, go with chaos.

If you're a serious gamer, Black Widow Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard 2013, its 130 USD but thats if youre a serious gamer, but if youre just casual, any keyboard will usually do.

Why are you guys recommending TN panels when IPS panels are better. Don't get a Razer Black Widow Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard. Razer is a bit overpriced the CoolerMaster will surely work better and has the customization of which Cherry MX switches you want still think Asus vsh239h-p is better along with the Cooler Master Storm Quickfire Rapid Cherry MX Red Switches
 
Yes, IPS monitors are better but as I said it depends on his budget for a monitor. If the OP doesn't want to spend that much on it, a TN panel is perfectly fine. However, I do agree that IPS monitors are the way to go if the OP can afford it.

I also agree that Razer is overpriced for what you get. Cooler Master keyboards are cheaper and higher quality.

Yea the Cooler Master Storm Quickfire Rapid Cherry MX Red Switches was a bit too much for me, at first i wanted close to 1000 but even without Cooler Master Storm I was already at with tax and shipping 1300. So for keyboard i just sticked to Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Wired Gaming Keyboard and got the Asus VN247H-P 23.6" Monitor. Thanks everyone for replying, you guys really helped me a lot!
