This will be my second build. I will be gaming on the PC. The overall theme of the build is black and red. My budget will be around $800 - $1000 CAD.( For the PC only, I will be using peripherals from an old PC)  I plan on overclocking the CPU/GPU in the future, but at the moment I will leave it stock. I would love feedback from you guys. :)

1. Get the i5 4690K instead, its about the same price if not cheaper and overclocks better.

2. Get a samsung 840 evo drive instead of the corsair force lx, they are faster and more reliable.

3. everything else looks good.
