Hi everyone,
I've been on and off about building a gaming PC for a year now, but I've never been able to justify it. Now I have some extra money around. My original budget was $800 CAD, but after doing research I've put together this build which will cost me about $1000 CAD. I already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse that I am very happy with. I'm looking for personal opinions on my hardware choices.

ASUS P8Z77-V LX Z77 $120
CPU:
Intel Core i5 3570K $226
GPU:

PSU:

RAM:
