I got lots of money for my Birthday and I now have $550 so I decided to raise my budget a little. My budget is now $1000 including tax (13% here in Canada), and it will be used for gaming at 1080p. Here is what I think would be nice:

I didnt go for the SeaSonic because it only had 1 PCIe  8 pin and I wanted 2 for Crossfire. Is it possible to add another one?

Don't XFire the 380s. You'd be better off getting a single 390. Besides, this build will last you for a long time anyway.

Well it says it includes tax so I didn't think twice about it. Then again, I know absolutely nothing about tax in Canada.

So, I'll play devils advocate here since they were all AMD builds. Here's one from team Green. Since you're just playing at 1080p, this should more than suffice.

You get better cooling, an SSD (which no PC this day in age should be without) and a better case.

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($246.05 @ Vuugo)

None of the PCPartPicker listings actually include tax, regardless of the country you choose.
