Hi everyone!
I'm really new to forums and Techspot seems like a good place to start!
I've decided to build my own gaming computer and I need some advices from other people. Since it's my first time building a pc, I don't want to mess things up. So if you have any advices for me or if you think my build is not that great or if some components don't match, I'd be more than happy to know.
So here's the thing:

By the way, I'm planning to spend around 1 500$ on my Pc. I think it should be enough for a decent gaming computer.
I live in Montreal, Canada and newegg.ca seems to be a good place to shop (prices and shipping looks great). But if you have any suggestion on where should I buy my stuff, let me know!
p.s. I can't post links to the components since it's my first post, sorry for that :S
Thanks for your time.
Looking forward to hear from you guys!
