First time budget gaming build list. Could really use some advice

[Bobbyocho]

Hello,

I've never built a computer before. This is a list I've made up based. I was hoping someone might have some suggestions for me. I need to get it under $1000 and I'm not even sure if every thing here is compatible. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Bobbyocho/saved/3iKr

Date: I would like to start buying parts this week
Budget: Max $1000
Usage: Mostly gaming, streaming video, a little video editing
Monitor: not needed
Upgrading: I would like the option to upgrade in the future
Preferred websites: Don't really have any but would like to keep it to 3 or less
Parts preference: Don't have any
Overclocking: maybe
Location: Toronto, Ont, currency CDN

Right now my laptop is on its last legs and can't do 720p video, its time for something new.

I haven't picked a power supply because I'm not sure what to use

Thanks,
Robin

you wont be able to overclock on that motherboard, but the CPU is overclockable, dont spend so much money on your CPU, go with something like an i5 4670K (the K means it is unlocked (can be over clocked))

for the motherboard, go with a Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H, it can be used to overclock

and here is a good choice for your power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012

apart from that, its a great system, it will all be compatible as well

An i5 is plenty for gaming. Also, I went for the non-k version so you can't overclock.
8gb of ram is enough for games.
Samsung 840 EVO is faster and only $3 more.
2gb of vram is plenty for 1080p gaming.
Great quality psu on sale.

You can drop the SSD and upgrade the gpu to a GTX 770 or grab an unlocked processor with a Z87 motherboard for overclocking.
