Advice needed

[iodine]

Hello, I'm thinking about building a budget gaming PC. As I'm somewhat inexperience when it comes to building a system I'd like to know what people think of the part list i created. (note: i live in Canada and don't want to spend more then 850$ after shipping & taxes)

For starters dont get an ECS mobo, they are crap, and definately not known for their quality, get a name brand board. Second don't skimp on the PSU and get a better quality one as well PC Power & Cooling, Corsair, Antec, Seasonic (I heard was good too).
