gaming build for $1200 CAD

[geetargeek]

Another attempt at mid-range gaming build. Clocks in at around $1200 CAD. Any thoughts?

Just read the sticky. Sorry for lack of detail.

This build would be HDMI out to 50" plasma tv. I would hope to run games at 40-50 fps on 1080p res (not sure what that is equivalent to on monitor? 1440x1280?). Want to run modern games at high settings along with upcoming titles.

Its a great build, but if i were you i would spend less on the CPU and more on the GPU.

Okay, how would I spend less on the CPU? Go to a lower i5 or switch to an AMD CPU?

Maybe drop down to a i5 4590 and spend the $20 you save on a 280X, Or if you don't need the computer ASAP, you could go about $50 overbudget and buy a GTX 770.
