Hello everyone!
I'm trying to build a gaming PC with a budget of a 2,000$ CAN. I do not plan to overclock and I'll keep the same components for at least 5 years. My main goal is to be able to play games in 1440p (high settings) and 4k (medium settings) during that five years period. I would like to have the smallest computer case possible. Finally, I need all my components to be available on the website NCIX.com, since they will build my computer. That being said, I can choose components who are cheaper on others Canadians websites since NCIX will match the lowest price.
After doing some research, here's my final list;
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini-ITX – 68$

http://leximart.com/product.php?id_product=63
PC Assembly and testing: 50$
Total: 2 038.80$
Any advice or feedback is welcome. If you think that some of my components are bad choices (value wise) or if you see any compatibility problem, do not hesitate to tell me. I know that the video card is up for debate, but I think (and I might be wrong!) that the 390x is a better choice for high resolution gaming.
Thanks for your help!
