Hello! I don't build new PCs very often so I'm asking for help from the experts here to make sure this build is a good one and I'm not making any mistakes.
This PC will be used mostly for gaming; the idea is to buy good parts but nothing really top of the line so it's not too expensive. I'll buy everything at ncix.com and have them assemble it; I did my own assembly last time and while things went well it took me a whole day.

With 50$ for assembly this all adds up to 1320 CAD.
So, does this look OK? Is there part I should switch for something else? Have I forgotten anything?
Thank you!
