Parts List - are these compatible/any good?

[nishs]

This is my first time building a gaming PC (or any type of PC) so I'm not quite sure if these will work together, and if the parts I chose are actually any good. Could someone check it out and give me some opinions? Thanks in advance!

CPU Cooler - Don't forget one. You will need one to overclock and that CPU will need it to be able to stretch its legs...
MEM - The AMD platforms respond well to higher frequency modules. Look toward DDR3-2133 or DDR3-2400 modules.
GPU - The GTX 750 Ti is the same price as that GTX 750.
PSU - Stick with a Tier 1 or Tier 2 unit! http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I live in Ontario so the price is somewhere closer to $800 CAD. But thank you for the feedback and I'll be sure to go ahead and look at all the parts you suggested!
