FINAL CHECK first timer build

[santaclaws490]

Alright so after weeks of reading and decision making I have decided to go with this system. Just so you know the CPU, PSU, Case, RAM, MOBO and HDD are all in one combo package from newegg.ca so I cannot change an individual item without changing the entire build, but if it doesn't click at all then lmk.

This is a NON OC build.

COMBO LINK: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.689758

CPU -- i5 2500
MOBO -- GIGABYTE GA-H67M-D2-B3
RAM -- corsair 4gb (2x2) 1333 ddr3 (I am aware the 1600 works better with the 2500, will upgrade in half a year)
PSU -- 630w RAIDMAX (the item I am most skeptical about)
HDD -- seagate barracuda 1.5TB SATA 6.0gbs
CD/DVD -- lite on black blu ray 4x... etc
CASE -- thermaltake v3

GPU -- PNY gtx 560 ti

Monitor -- Asus Vh238h 23in w/ speakers

I am looking to upgrade the speakers to the soundsticks ii/iii in the near future as well.

Appreciate any help!

id skip it due to the psu. we can help you get something around the same price. are you trying to make this an SLI capable build?

No not really. And yeah I think you are right. My budget is around 1000 (+/- 100$) including a monitor. I want to be able to game on it for at least two and a half years. The budget has to include shipping and canadian taxes so it has to come to around 900 before all that. There are a few combo deals but I always find one thing in them that I don't like - for instance a case with a PSU. I figure the best bet might be to go with a really good mobo and a x4 965 amd processor and then upgrade when the bulldozer comes out?? What do you reckon?
