First Build Help

Hi Guys, 

This is my first time posting on the forum, I wanted to ask you guys what do you think of my build? I am looking to order it in the next couple of days. I will be using it primarily for gaming. There is no graphics card currently in the list because I am waiting for the Pascal cards (pls come out soon). Anyways, I am ordering from Canada. Is there anything wrong with this build, or anything that I should remove or add? 

Thanks

get another power supply pretty sure almost everyone on this forums told me the CX series are bad.

 

here you can find more info about the best PSU: 

 

I am not a computer expert however I can tell you things from my experience and from things I've heard on this site.

I'll try to help you as much as possible and suggest other things if needed.

Don't take this for granted and always do your own research!

Umm, why does your case cost 240 CAD?

Anyway, an H110 setup with an i5-6500 and a 2133MHz RAM kit is much more cost effective.

The PSU is a poor one. For expensive builds, you should pick a better quality PSU, not a higher wattage or higher efficiency PSU.

 

This is what I would recommend you going with. Mind you, my list includes tax. Also I've put in the keyboard and mouse you picked, since I have no recommendations on those.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.
