i just like to have more then i need and my comment about electricity is because i usually leave my pc running 24/7 and crunching in the fall/winter/spring
Okay but as I noted, the capability (amount of watts) does not matter if you get a quality 80 PLUS certified supply because they are required to have a high efficiency regardless the load.

For a very basic, generic PSU, that would matter because basic, cheap supplies have a bell shaped efficiency response curve which achieve peak efficiency at just one or two load values. Once the load slips off that peak (which is different depending on PSU design), efficiency drops significantly, often way below 70%.

If you leave your system on 24/7 for Folding or similar crunching, I recommend a Gold rated supply. It will achieve a few percentage points better efficiency over a Bronze resulting in lower energy costs. And those fewer points will also result in less heat being pumped into your room. If the ambient environment is air conditioned, a Gold supply will save you money there too. Over the life of the supply you likely will get back the extra cost of the Gold over the Bronze, and then some. Lastly, because Golds are more efficient and generate less heat, their fans generally don't need to spin as fast or as often which may result in less noise too.

i was looking at these 2 keyboards:

Razer DeathStalker Chroma : http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_273_274&item_id=085547

Azio: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_273_274&item_id=087927

Maybe this Razer mouse: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=275&item_id=096301

I know its OW branded, but i :love: OW anyways lol. If not that then maybe another Level 10M as they are $65 CAN atm

Also going to look at FreeSync monitors, i would like to run my games at more then 60fps on my current rx 480....no vsync = tearing :( my GTX 680 never had tearing with vsync off so i will use my sammy PLS with the new build until i deem an uprade necessary :)
