Looking at spending $1500 Canadian.  Main uses will be gaming, at 1080, other tasks include some mapping software and autocad.   Goal is for this to be a PC that I don't feel compelled to upgrade in 1 years time..... so spending some extra.

Grab a better quality PSU since Corsair's RM series are overpriced for their quality and a nicer SSD:
