I want a gaming rig that will be able to handle 60 fps on at least high settings if not on ultra high. I already have an almost final build but I want another opinion on what I have and any changes I should make. I'd like to stay under $2100 CAD.

Yes I'm in Canada I just had it mixed up a little, it's fixed now. And I'll be using a 1920x1080p monitor.

I was kind of hoping to keep the general build I have now. With only a few minor adjustments.

I was under the impression that six cores was a little overkill just for gaming considering that most games don't utilize more than four cores. Plus I won't be broadcasting to twitch at all.
