My budget is going to be around $1600 Canadian, including peripherals. I made a parts list but its priced in american. I'm hoping there will be some sales during the summer, full build should be complete by the middle of august. Must have a i5 4670k, r9 290 and a modular 750w or greater PSU. I want the build to be fairly small so its going to be a micro atx build with the 350d case, Which is why I want a modular PSU because its going to be a tight fit. I also want to stick to one color threw out the build, The theme was black for the parts list I made. Might throw some blue and/or purple LEDs in there as well to make it look funky. Should I make any changes? My budget is fairly flexible I should add, I just don't want to go crazy (Even though its already a considerably crazy build to the average person).

All you have to do is change the country at the top to Canada, or add "ca." to the front of your link

Now it's an $1800 build without the keyboard/mouse as they don't have them in the Canada, so add on another almost $100 if you want something comparible, so $1900.

Sucks being in Canada. That's why I went AMD. When I built mine 6 months ago, I got an 8320 for the price of an i3. Intel is really higher here compared to AMD.

I can order it from the us still, I live right by the boarder and have a friend in the us that can receive it for me. And it is available on amazon Canada so I can still order it anyway. As for the amd thing, I total agree, I love amd. But the one thing where the 8320 and 8350 sucks at is Per-core performance. I play all kinds of games including MMOs and Indies. Both those genres of games don't use more than 4 cores, Like at all. So I want to go intel for that reason. But I will be purchasing the CPU, GPU, and motherboard last so depending on how much the other parts cost me I might go for the 8320 to save a few bucks. My budget is flexible So I will spend the extra 100$ to get what I want, I will be hunting for sales to so I might still be able to stay close to the budget range.
