Please Help, Urgent!

Luxor

It'd be a great help if anyone can help me within the next hour or so, I'm looking to order parts tonight. MY budget CANNOT change by much. ONLY make it more if doing so results in a huge performance boost. I might be able to go up about $40 or so. My budget is actually around $925CAD but with taxes and shipping the build can only be around $800. I'll be using it mainly for gaming. I already have a 500GB HDD so no other storage is needed. I also have mouse keyboard and monitor. PLEASE take in account to how much shipping will cost from retailers other than DirectCanada and Amazon as the shipping will probably put my over budget from some places. Here's what I've come up with so far..

Looks good, but depending on your usage scenario, I would say go for an AMD 7950 over the GTX 660. If you want to learn more about the performance of cards in a variety of games, go on Linus' channel and search benchmark showdown. You will see a variety of cards at different price points, and how they perform in certain games. For strictly gaming, AMD cards are hard to beat for their price to performance ratio.

change the gtx 660 for a 7870xt (sapphire) same cost more performance

 

This.

 

And drop the DvD Drive, unless you desperately need it [Win can be installed by USB] and ramp up the PSU a little bit.
