    Hello everyone,

    I'm building a new computer. I have a budget of 1600$ (CAN) for the computer tower itself, I already have a monitor, keyboard, etc.

    I live in Canada, and will be ordering from NCIX.ca or Newegg.ca. It's for 3D modelling and rendering, and other heavy applications.

    Here's what I made :

    Processor/Motherboard - Intel i7-4770k + MSI MPower Z87 (combo pack)
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1348323

    Video card - Gigabyte GTX770 2Gb
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125463

    Memory - Corsair Vengeance 16Gb (2x8) Pc3-12800
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233299

    Case - Fractal Design Define R4 (with window)
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352021

    PSU - Corsair TX650W 80+ Bronze
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005

    HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1Tb - 7200Rpm
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697

    SSD - Samsung 840 Pro 128Gb
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192

    And that's it! I have a CD/DVD burner and a Wifi card. I'll use the stock heatsink for now, and get a BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 2 in a few months.

    What do you think of the build ? I want something that is silent and that has good cooling, hence why I chosed the Define R4 and the Gigabyte GTX770.

    What could/should I upgrade to have a better build ?

    Total price : 1540$, 1670$ with taxes and shipping

    Thanks a lot!
    Charles
