Building a computer for the first time on a limited budget.
Looking for any advice, help, tips etc.
I have put together a build below, please let me know how is it (for the budget).
Also, quality of the components?

Main use is browsing, streaming videos, very light GIMP/Photoshop, casual gaming (Flight simulator, Cities in motion, etc, however I would like to be able to play newer FPS and GTA like games once in a while). Also would like to be able to (easily?) upgrade components in the future (something like the i5-3570 and HD 7870).
Approximate Purchase Date: Nothing set in stone, will buy parts as they go on sale
Budget Range: $400-500 after rebates and including shipping (Canada)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: See above
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Ncix Canada, Newegg.ca, Canada Computers, Memory Express (ME most preferred), etc.
Location: Calgary, Alberta
Parts Preferences: Intel?
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Thanks!
