I would like this to be the best PC it can possible be for $1500 (or less!)

The pc will be used for mostly gaming purposes farcry, league, skyrim, ect.

I already have a headset monitor, mouse, and keyboard so that does not need to be included.

I also really like the nzxt h440 pc case but maybe there's a better one for the price don't know. This will be my first build but I have a friend to help.

I also live in Canada if that helps.

Thank you,

Thank you for the build <3 But I have a few questions please

Is possible to perhaps could I get maybe a semi modular or a modular power supply I saw this one and wondering if its good or not http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx750m

Another thing I heard the 290x overheats a lot and wondering if that might be a issue and I also heard its better to get the 290 and over-clock it a bit is this true?

And since I am not using the stock heat-sink for the Cpu could you recommend some good Thermal Compound

Thanks again for your help :) Really appreciate it.

Thank you,
