Hey everyone! I am planning on building my first pc and was wondering if i could get some recommendations on parts.

I am very new to this but have been doing as much research as possible on my free time. What I want out of my pc is to play mainly Arma 3 , Fallout 4 and Gta v 1080p @ 60fps

I decided to go with pc instead of making the switch to new gen consoles from my xbox360 lol.

I am buying parts when ever i get some extra money and have recently purchased my case

( Corsair Carbide 300r windowed) and as for my motherboard i went with the Asus z97a

I would love to go with 3, 1080p monitors in the future. I am located in Canada and my preferred budget would be under 2000 ? would spend a bit more if necessary.

What i am looking to go for..
