Hey everyone! It's my first time positing on here, though I've been lurking about for some time now reading all that I can when it comes to DIY systems.
Anyways, I'm building a gaming rig this holiday, hopefully using some great Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and I'm looking for some input. Here are my criteria:
This is the build I have done up on MemoryExpress so far but I'm wondering if it's the best value for my buck, whether or not I can make some changes or source some parts from other etailers, or if I should scrap it entirely. I'd really appreciate any input that you all can offer me!

Anyways, I'm building a gaming rig this holiday, hopefully using some great Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and I'm looking for some input. Here are my criteria:
■ MUST be under $900 CAD, including tax and shipping. I know this is a tough goal to reach, especially considering the nonsensical manner in which hardware in Canada is priced (R7 260X costs $40 more than GTX 650 Ti Boost in WHAT UNIVERSE?), but I'm a full time student so money is very tight.
■ Must be capable of 30 FPS (1080p) minimum in games like (modded) Skyrim, Hawken, Planetside 2, and Guild Wars 2. They are what I predominantly play now, but I'd also like to see how much performance I can squeeze for the newer games this year, and some titles coming soon *cough*StarCitizen*cough*.
■ Overclocking would be nice, but is not necessary unless it is needed to meet the performance goals listed above.
