It never ceases to amaze me how people will (over)spend for their CPU. motherboard, RAM..etc and then cheap out on the most important component, the PSU.

Everything should be compatible but the price seems high for what you're getting. Then again, I might be overestimating the value of the CAD.

EDIT - Boy was I ever!

Yeah the exchange rates for CAD are really high right now. A 6600K in the US is $259 and in CAD it's $329. :ouch:

I would do something like this:
