My gpu will not be the Asus GeForce 750ti, it will be an r7 265( waiting for it to be released... Theres only the sapphire and asus version right now). I only put the 750ti there because it has similar performance.

Also,I would like to keep the PSU, the storage and the case. im from Canada and my budget is 650-700$. This computer will only be used for gaming. I want it to be future proof, that is why i took the 8320 over the 6300.

I heard this motherboard isnt great for overclocking.... What are your opinions?should i change it? Im not a big fan of overclocking right now but i might oc later.

I am missing ram. Id like some 2x4gb but it is really expensive right now. Was wondering if i should just go with 4gb and upgrade later. Or just get the 8g right now... Its 90$ btw....

Wow, I thought that people stopped using the term "future-proof" in a non-disparaging manner.

You're better off getting a more powerful gpu if what you want to do is gaming: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3evMm

Never heard of the brand club3d.....are they good? >_> considering their prices are really cheap

They aren't the best by they aren't bad. Brand generally doesn't really matter that much if you're getting a more powerful gpu though.

The Rosewill Green isn't exactly a renowned psu line. I'd stick with the Evga 500B. If you want a larger case for the cooler to oc, get the CM N200. 

I'd also suggest grabbing a ssd instead if you feel like spending more money. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asp600s3128gmc
