Gaming build

[Knut66]

Hey, this is my first time building and I'm looking to build a gamer PC. My budget is around 600 dollars not including Monitor, keyboard, mouse etc. These are the parts I've gathered so far.

Case – http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...nufacture=Xion

PSU –

Motherboard-http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30418&vpn=P5Q%20Pro&manufacture=ASUS

CPU – http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...anufacture=AMD

HDD – http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...acture=Seagate

RAM – http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...acture=CORSAIR

Primary Optical – http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...%20Electronics

Secondary Optical –

Sound card –

Video card – http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...Specifications

The case comes with a PSU but I'm not sure if I should buy a bigger one. I can buy a 700w rocket fish PSU from my work for 60 bucks. If possible I would like to spend a little less then what I have now, I'm new to building computers and haven't been to much up to date with computer tech but I'm pretty sure thats all compatible just not sure if I can get near the same for a bit cheaper. Also I live in Canada, BC, so ordering from new egg is out of the question Any help and tips would be appreciated, things to look for when buying certain parts stuff like that.

First off, I would take a look at ordering from newegg.ca, they usually have the best prices in Canada, and their shipping rates/times are reasonable. One of the problems I see with your proposed build is that the power supplies are of low quality, both XION and rocket fish are poor quality; more wattage isn't neccesarily better, in your case a good 400W+ power supply is all you need. Another problem I see is that the motherboard and processor is incompatible. Here is a good parts list for a gaming computer for around $600:

Newegg.com doesn't ship to Canada; relatively recently they opened up Newegg.ca which ships in Canada.
