The GPU is a bit slow and lacking memory for 1440 gaming. Also you are going to have a heck of a time trying to find one in stock for anywhere near that price.
For 2560x1440 or 2560x1080 you really want at least a GTX 1070. Given how ridiculous prices are right now. I would look at a GTX 1080. They aren't great for crypto mining compared to the cost and power usage of a GTX 1070 but are much better for gaming. So, their prices haven't gone up much at all.
This build costs a bit more but will do quite well at 2560x1440. Plus you can find all the parts. You are going to have a hard time finding any GTX 1060 under $375 CAD. At such a ridiculously inflated price. A GTX 1080 makes much more sense.
Yea I know the prices suck. As in the here and now if you want a gaming system. Either go low end with a GTX 1050 Ti or high end with a GTX 1080. Mid range prices are ridiculously high.

Just don't wait long. If you want to build soon. The GTX 1080 is the next logical choice for desperate Ethereum miners. The GTX 1050 Ti is also going up.
If you are going to buy soon. Buy the GTX 1080 right away. Then take your time on other parts.
