• Should I change any of the parts before I finalize my decision?
• Does anyone know if I could get any of these parts for cheaper than I listed them?

I recommend this PSU instead: Newegg.ca - XFX Black Edition P1-750B-CAG9 750W ATX12V v2.2 / ESP12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

It's just as good or slightly better than the HX750, and is a fair amount cheaper with the rebate factored in. Other than that, everything looks good to me.

get an evga sli and 2 460 1gb cards? :)
if you dont need modularity, maybe the regular 750 watter from the same co.? on sale you can catch it some 50-70 below that

looks good to me, would it have the same reliabilty as a corsair?

I was able to find it a bit cheaper @ XFX 750W Black Edition Single Rail Modular ATX 12V 62A 24PIN ATX Power Supply 80PLUS Silver - DirectCanada

just a note - I use shopbot.ca and it is able to find the best prices in canada match it with NCIX pricematch and im able to save almost $400

Yes. It's manufactured by Seasonic which is one of the best PSU manufacturers.

Maybe go with a Samsung F3 1TB or Western Digital Black. Up to you really though, all perform about the same I guess.

try to order from one place, i.e. ncix and pricematching to the dc linkie.

the samsung drives can be a bit faster than the wd blacks in some situations, there was a thread some time back upon it.

which Samsung drive would you recommend?(640gb-1tb)

jd's sugestion, look above. as per size, it depends if you want to spend 20 more bucks now or maybe have an ssd as mains in the near future and perhaps a green drive as data drive.

edit before you checkout, give the trading section another look, you never know when somebody pops a thread with an item you might end up buying retail
