Hi guys, I'm doing a first time gaming build and need some advice on the list of items I have picked out. I already have the motherboard so it won't be included in the list.
Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
My end goal is a 3 monitor setup(likely 1920x1080 native for each screen) but I'll add those as money becomes available so I want to have a setup that can accommodate that in the near future. I likely won't be gaming across all three monitors, more of a multi-tasking setup. The heavy stuff will mainly be games.
I’d like to be able to play at 60+ FPS at either high or ultra for most games. I’m willing to adjust settings to keep the FPS up. Examples: WoW, Witcher 3, Skyrim

I'd like to keep things around or under $1000, but can consider small wiggle room if it means a significant upgrade like stronger video card.
Location: Vancouver, BC. Canada (for pricing purposes)
Thanks in advance for the help and if I've missed any details please let me know.
