Hello, I want to build a gaming computer and I need your opinion on my build. I wasn't sure about which PSU or videocard to choose, I want to be able to run latest and future games on highest quality with 1920×1080 resolution and will do mild overclocking, mostly for gaming. Thanks for your help :).

Yea it seems fine but I would try to get a video card with at least 3GB of VRAM though. Maybe r9 280x, r9 290, or the 4GB version of GTX 770

EDIT: also for $120 you should be able to get a 240gb SSD

That would be a really nice card. the price seems a little high but its a canadian website so I'm not sure the difference between US dollar and Canada dollar. I would just shop around different sites and try to get a 4gb gtx 770 for as cheap as you can.
