My computer is over 6 years old and is starting to show it's age so I am looking at upgrading most of the components. The Case and CPU cooler will not be changing but I'll list them for refrence. I also have two 1.5TB harddrives, the SSDs are for the OS and certain games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 when it's released since I always mod them.
My budget for this upgrade is $2000CAD.

CASE: Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BWS
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9900ALED Ball Bearing CPU Cooler
