Opinion on my new system

[finalepiphany]

Hi, I just built my new system and would like opinions on the parts as well as any compatibility issues that I may run into.

My budget was around C$1000 (Canadian Dollars) and my goal is to use the system to play all the latest games but namely Starcraft 2. If you think I'm getting my parts on the expensive side, that's because I live in Canada and computer parts are more expensive up here

Anyways, here are the parts:

Case was a poor choice considering that there are cheaper, significantly roomier, and equally quality and cooling cases out there. Like these for examples:
$72 CAD - Cooler Master RC-590-KKN1-GP ATX Case
$83 CAD - Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP ATX Case
$85 CAD - Cooler Master CM690 II ATX Case

The hard drive was also a poor dirve since you can get a significantly faster hard drive, the Samsung F3 1TB for the same price:

The PSU was perhaps the worst part in the entire PC. It's only rated at 25C and at peak. So definitely not a 550W PSU in any way. Out of all the problem parts in the PC, I highly highly recommend replacing the PSU ASAP. Otherwise, you're putting your PC at risk of an early death. PSU replacements:
$65 CAD - Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W PSU
$70 CAD - Seasonic S12II 520W PSU

I concur with lt_shiro: The 690 II is an updated and better version of the 690.
