I actually did create a system build for $800, what are your thoughts on it? Is there anything I should change?:

You have to save it and provide the permalink for others to review your build.

what do you want to use the machine for? gaming? video editing? autocad?

Your motherboard is not good enough for that CPU; you want the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P which only is $15 more on Newegg.ca. A gaming build with an Intel i5-4460 and the ASRock H97 Anniversary motherboard would be a better system and it only costs $10 more (an aftermarket cooler is not required). You could also switch to this PSU: http://www.ncix.com/detail/xfx-550w-ts-series-80-a0-59615-1276.htm?affiliateid=7474144

buy my Z77 board / i5-3570k that i'm not using!

i'm in canada, so at least no cross-border stuff to deal with. i really should list all my stuff that i could part with at some point in time...

but yeah, for gaming an i5 of some kind is probably the best bet. i use an i3 but it's for casual gaming.
