Hey guys,
I'm building a budget gaming PC. Prices are a little higher here in Canada, so here's what I managed to build for about $800:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($218.48 @ NCIX)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($86.23 @ Canada Computers)
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($45.24 @ DirectCanada)
Storage: Crucial V4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($99.87 @ DirectCanada)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card ($258.73 @ NCIX)
Case: Antec Three Hundred ATX Mid Tower Case ($57.25 @ DirectCanada)
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($51.73 @ Canada Computers)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($19.74 @ DirectCanada)
Total: $837.27
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

I was wondering if someone could have a look over it and let me know if there's anything I could improve about it. I already have a 1.5 TB Caviar Blue that I'll add in there for additional storage, so don't worry about that.
For the record, I was planning to order within the next week. I have Windows 8 ready to install. The system will be used primarily for gaming, but I might also use it for software development.
Thanks for your help
