Hey everyone, I'm relatively new here, but I am looking to build my first PC in the next few weeks, and have selected some parts I like. It will be primarily for gaming, at 1600x1200, and I will be playing games such as CSS, COD4, Modern Warfare 2, TF2, and Starcraft 2. I have a mouse and keyboard already, so all I need is the tower. My specs are below, if you guys could please comment, offer suggestions, and give feedback (if you have these parts), it would be greatly appreciated, as I would like things to go as smoothly as possible on my first build. I aimed to keep it under $1000 CAD (including S&H).

I was wondering how well does the processor overclock, as I may do so once I feel it can't handle what I'm throwing at it. Also, is the PSU good (quality-wise and wattage-wise)? I don't plan on Crossfire, but I'd still like to be safe. Once again, any comments would be much appreciated, thanks!
