ill be playing mostly gta 5 and some older games like crysis 2 and 3 (well i guess 3 isnt that old)

i know these are some pretty demanding games for graphics when game settings are on high so will this build of parts i picked be good and worth the price of $1500 Canadian? and i don't mean ill only be playing theses games i want to play brand new games as well.

thanks! ps if you find better parts please note that i can only order from newegg.ca or amazon.ca and not any usa sites thanks!

GTA V may tax it a bit but for the most part you should be able to run most settings on ultra 1080p. If you want to save a little more money you may even get away with 8GB RAM.
