Looking to build a new PC, I have never built 1 before and have no idea what im doing. I was just playing around on some custom build sites. Im sure this is a crap build, but I wanted to know what i should change, what I need or dont need. This is strictly for gaming only. I would like this to be future proof for at least a couple years, and how easy it would be to upgrade componets.
This is in Canadian price.

edit- ok, after doing some research, I think I need to go ditch the 6850k and go with a 7700k.
So forget about the 6850k. Now I have a new question. Should i wait till the new CPU's come out? Like the new I7/I9 cpus. I dont know what to do.....

Oh and my resolution for now is still gonna be 1080P, but I will be going higher a bit later.

thanx for any advice and help.
