Hey,

I've been trying to decide on my perfect build for a while now. I've created this build on PCPartPicker, well below my budget of $1400 CAD or so because why not save money, and it looks very good to me. I'd just like some opinions from the community to make sure it's decent. Thanks!

I dont think that you might need a 240 GB SSD, You, should get 80 to 120 GB SSD, as you just have to install the Window on it....
The over all specs are great....
The GPU is just WOW, Go for it...

I'm going for the 6600 because it's the best CPU in my budget that doesn't overclock. I don't really want to overclock, it's a lot more money and I don't particularly want to spend it.

I was thinking about getting a smaller SSD, but I felt like the bigger one could be useful at not much higher of a price. I'll have to see what I feel like when I buy the parts.
