Hello, I've decided to replace my extremely outdated computer with something that will last a while. This is the first time I've built a PC. I would mainly just like to know how I'm doing choosing parts. Are they all compatible with one another, is the power supply good enough for what I've chosen, and are there any changes I can make to reduce the price?
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within 2/3 weeks from now
BUDGET RANGE: $1100 - $1300 CAN After Rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, School Work, Programming/Development, Watching Movies, Surfing Web, Video Editing

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Only sites I know of are newegg and tigerdirect, I've chosen tigerdirect but I'm easy if there's anything better.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel CPU
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe (I don't even know what it is)
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Mobo I've chosen supports SLI, so maybe.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Doesn't matter, I'll be worrying about getting a monitor afterwards. Don't need anything too huge.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: $1300 is a little over my original intended budget, so it's pretty much as high as I'll go.
