Hey, I'm new to this forum and I'm thinking about building my first gaming PC. My budget lies around 1500 CAD (No OS, Peripherals / Accessories ) and I'll be using this computer for Gaming most of the time. Can you guys recommend me something? I'd appreciate a PCPartPicker list.

Games I will be playing: Planetside 2, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty series, Crysis Series, ArcheAge, WildStar, FarCry Series, Ghost Recon Phantoms and a few other games.

I want a '' future proof '' build.

The must is having either a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler or Corsair H100i CPU Cooler and maybe i7 processor such as Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz or whatever you think is best.

(for the GPU I was thinking GTX 780 / 780 Ti) nVidia is the brand I trust the most when it comes to GPU. I'm also not sure whether to take a SSD or HDD.

I will also be using two monitors but only one for the games I play and the second one for multi-tasking other things, etc...

NOT TO MENTION : I don't really know how OC'ing works so I probably will not be able to OC unless I really spend several hours trying to understand how it works... I don't wanna set fire to my house, you know?

Thanks in advance for all the replies! :D
