I have little experience with building PC's, all of the part lists online are a bit overwhelming so I made my own list. I am looking for a PC that will play all the newest games at full resolution and at decent settings. I also do a bit of webdesign and Photoshop work.
Date: Looking to purchase this week
Budget: 600$ - 800$
Usage: Gaming, work
Parts I already have: mouse, keyboard, monitor, windows 7 x64
I would like to buy everything at newegg.ca
I am in Canada
Prefer AMD
No overclocking
Might crossfire in a year or 2
Resolution: 1680x1050
I don't really care about noise or the look of the PC. I want it to last for a good amount of time and have all the newest technologies such as USB 3.
My current part list:

Thoughts: I have no clue if these parts are all compatible or if they will actually fit inside the case. The ram seems extremely cheap for ddr3 but had great reviews on newegg. I also feel like the video card is a bit of an overkill.
Subtotal: $683.93
Shipping: $38.98
Handling: $0.00
GST/HST: $86.76
Grand Total: $809.67
Any advice appreciated will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
