Hi
This is my first time building a gaming computer. I am on a budget of $2000..
I need suggestions/help.
How can I improve my parts list?
Will my computer be fast?
What will be the a good monitor for my parts?
What do you think about my parts?
Also I am looking for a cool case I do not really like the one i have choose now.

I am not only buying from newegg. The links are only newegg because I like reading about the parts on newegg. I can also buy from stores. (I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

Already, this build is really, really good, it will pretty much dominate anything on the market. As far as improvements, you could consider getting the Cooler Master 690 III w/ Seidon 120v. This is a very nice, sleek looking case that comes with a Seidon 120V All-In-One liquid cooling unit, this means you will not have to do anything with liquid or pumps, all you do is install it, that also means that you would not need the CPU cooler, and save some money there, with the saved money, you can think about getting some more case fans to improve air flow, and then get a fan controller to control the speed of each fan individually.

The i7 is overkill for gaming, get an i5. You could also do by going with a cheaper motherboard. Take that money and get a better GPU like 780 or 780 Ti. An i5 + 780 or 780 Ti will give better performance than i7 + 770

Parts are referenced to Canadian websites. The 350d is one the coolest cases while also being clean and professional looking. Got you a 780 Ti, which will allow you to go Surround in the future with 3 screens if you want, and the PSU will allow you to add a second GPU no problem. Included a 27" monitor as well under your budget.

If you plan on staying with a single screen, you could drop to a 780 and save a couple hundred dollars.
