Help me build a Desktop PC

I'm not good at building PCs so I'm not going to suggest any but, you can get one that runs BF3 on ultra settings for less than 1000$ for sure

If you want to save money then take out the SSD, prices tallied up from newegg canada. Actually it's possible to save an additional $80 with a fx-6300 instead of 8350. But the 8350 is to futureproof

Well here's what I tossed together

I'm hesitant to recommend a GTX770 when the R9 280 is $90 cheaper but you do have the budget for it. That would be a way to shave off cost if you need to. Also, case is preference, you can change it. I included an OS also; if you have a copy of Windows you can take that out.

Edit for a cheaper build closer to $1000. And as mentioned below, you can change up SSD/HDD/PSU/case as you wish.

A $500 PC would be able to run Battlefield 3 on high settings, just so you know.

SSD - spend the money, its worth it

SSDs are the single greatest advancement in desktop computing in 15 years IMO. The performance increase is mainly in load times, but if you are looking to play modern games, those load times can get pretty long, so SSDs make a huge difference.

I use the ZOTAC GTX 770 AMP! edition, and it is great. Make sure you get a good power supply to cover it.

I also recommend getting no less than 16GB ram. It makes life better for many reasons. I use 4x 4GB sticks.

Keyboard, I use Logitech G710+ mechanical gaming keyboard. You can faceroll and palm spam all day without missing a single keystroke, and once you go mechanical, you will never go backanical.

Monitor - I like slouching, and often look at my monitor from several angles (not simultaneously). Traditional LCDs give poor high angle viewing which causes distorted colours and brightness around edges, etc. For complete awesomeness, I highly recommend the Asus PB278Q. It gives great refresh rates, no blurring, great even colour and light distribution, and a nice big monitor at a nice big resolution that will last you at least 6 years. If 28" is too big, the same tech is in a smaller 23" package for quite a bit cheaper.

Maybe this isn't the price range you were looking for, but this is what I consider to be some of the best equipment out there for high quality gaming.

Can I ask why it has to be just Newegg. NCIX for example typically has much better prices then newegg and is Canadian as well. NCIX has storefronts too if you happen to live nearby one.

I don't stay up to date on the latest and greatest, and only buy a system ever 3-4 years or so.

I find sites like the below helpful to get an idea on new parts and prices.
Toms Hardware

There are links to reviews if I want to learn more or compare, and helps me create a good starting point to customize to my liking.

It's been some time since I've upgraded though, so outside of that I wouldn't be helpful.

If you want something future proof, this could be a decent option:
