I am currently putting together a gaming system and wanted to know everyone?s thoughts on the system below. I am on a budget of about 1,500 Canadian. Are there any parts you would swap for something different? Am I making any mistakes here? Does this look ok? Are there any parts that can be swapped for something cheaper allowing for more money to be applied elsewhere?

All parts must come from here: http://www.memoryexpress.com
