Hi folks, I'm a gaming enthusiast looking to build my first PC. Trouble is I have no idea where to start. I would love a Computer that can run games at max and wont generate a ton of heat.

Approximate Purchase Date: September 2014

Budget Range: $1600-$1800

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the internet,

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever ships to Canada, seeing as I live there.

Parts Preferences: CPU: Intel

Do you need a monitor: Yes

Do you need a keyboard: Yes

Overclocking: Maybe in the Future

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Additional Comments: Some games I really want to play are the Witcher 3 and Assassins Creed Black Flag

Hope you can help me, thanks.
 
Here's an SLI ready build.
