Purchase Date: Up until May. I plan to build it in may because my birthday is in May and that way I can get a monitor and keyboard for my birthday.
Budget: $1500 total - I would prefer to keep it as low as possible, though.
Usage: Gaming - as mentioned in the title, movies, internet surfing.
Buying Monitor?: Yes
Overclocking: No
Resolution: 1080p
Parts: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Lnvh

I'm sure someone is going to mention how I don't need as much wattage as I am getting. So why am I getting as much as I am? Simply because I assume I will be upgrading in the future and I don't want to have to worry about buying a new PSU. I'm sure I'll need one eventually, but I don't think it will be for a while.
Need some more advice on a Video Card... The two guys below seem to be divided on what one I should get...
Also, if anyone knows of any good tutorials for building a computer please link me! I haven't built a computer before so having a reference would be helpful.
