Looks pretty good to me, I would go crucial over team dark if those are your only two choices and MSI over Zotac for your 760. Also if you found a way to stretch it or save on some deals get a SSD like the 120GB samsung evo

 

[stealth1304]

This is the cheapest crucial memory I found http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148719 and its $20 more than team dark. This is the only MSI GPU I found that performs as good as the Zontac http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127750 and is $15 more. I will look into getting a SSD and thank you for your response.

 

[Jameson Clark]

I'm not from Canada so I may have different prices that affected my suggestion, Zotac will work for you. I recommend the crucial over team dark since team dark aren't well established,but $20 is a pretty big gap.

 

[stealth1304]

Yeah I just realized my error on my first post and fixed it. Have you heard anything bad about team dark yet? Can you find a well established manufacture cheaper at this link? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007610%20600006069%20600006127&IsNodeId=1&name=DDR3%201600%20%28PC3%2012800%29&Order=PRICE&Pagesize=20

Newegg.ca isn't working for me but take a look at this site. It is a great way to compile your build and also look for items. The Kingston ram at the very top might be a bit more reliable and a little cheaper.

would get r9 280x

 

[Jameson Clark]

280x would be a step up, but if you are looking to step up for a bit more money I would personally go with a 770

 

[stealth1304]

r9 280x is $120 more expensive which is out of the budget and the 770 is $60 more expensive and I would be better off going for this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211602
