So I decided to sell off my old rig (2700k/gtx670 OC) to finance something a little beefier. 

Budget: depends on how much I can sell the old rig for, bit I would like to stay around the $1600 CAD mark

I will mainly be using this as a gaming PC with some light coding and video rendering on the side

Here's what I have so far:http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/13xww

Looks good to me, although i havent really heard anything about SanDisk SSD's.

Are you planning to OC/have you heard about the supposed problems with haswell retail samples not being able to OC anywhere near the Engineering samples, due to heat problems?

I'm just a soul who is up to no good.

A 600w psu will do unless you're going to sli. That 750 will be okay for whenever you want to sli.

 

It looks good.
