Hello all. Over the past year I have been thinking about making my own gaming PC. This is the part list I have chosen, with the help of you guys .

PROCESSOR :
Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($116.98 CA$)

CPU COOLER :
Enermax ETS-T40-TB 86.7 CFM CPU Cooler ($31.35 CA$)
(EDIT) Not getting a CPU cooler anymore.
MOTHERBOARD :
Asus H87-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($113.57 CA$)
(EDIT) [strike]Changed to Asus H97-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($109.99 CA$)[/strike]
ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($69.00 CA$)
MEMORY :
Team Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($75.48 CA$)

Azza SIRIUS ATX Mid Tower Case ($44.99 CA$)
POWER SUPPLY :

(EDIT) Changed a few things again. Cheaper motherboard, different case. PCPartPicker says "Unable to verify the Azza SIRIUS ATX Mid Tower Case has sufficient space to fit the XFX Radeon R9 280X 3GB Double Dissipation Video Card." Should I be worried about this?
New price :
Base Total: $800.70
Mail-in Rebates: -$75.00

(And then shipping..)
Suggestions are still greatly appreciated! I won't be planning to buy the parts until there is absolutely nothing else to change.
