"I priced everything out online and this is what it's worth" suuurrreee....
I'd offer $750 for everything, tops.
Link just goes to the Newegg.ca homepage.
From what I can tell, only one it's on is the NZXT S340 Matte Black / Red Steel Case.
Note that the regular black version of this case has dropped down to sub $70 on Amazon in the past.
The build looks solid, just a few things
Edit. I found a $25 network card because I don't know you're willing to spend on one. https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-Express-Adapter/dp/B0079XWMEI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1521507801&sr=8-7&keywords=network+card
Edit 2. There is a 15%OFF Everything On Ebay. https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/0320/7019.html
So I found this equivalent which should be $194 after the coupon without tax or you can get other ram. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Team-T-Force-Vulcan-16GB-2-x-8GB-288-Pin-DDR4-SDRAM-DDR4-3000-PC4-24000-Desk/201694919705?hash=item2ef5f43c19:g:GnsAAOSwa8dZ0P4~
It's a NZXT S340 this is actually the same computer case I have as well but black. It has plenty of space and overall very nice case. Nothing too crazy but is simple. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NGMIBUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MKPOBb9EAWP08
The NZXT Source 340 is popular (also found in white).
Also the more expensive Fractal Design Define R5 (also found in Titanium Grey and white).
Many enjoy the cheaper NZXT Source 210 (also found in white) and the bit more expensive NZXT Source 210 Elite (also found in white).
And of course NZXT H440 (also found in other colors and the Razer edition).
Also Corsair have made some nice cases. Especially their Obsidian series.
In the end it depends on your budget and I have just linked some of the most popular which should be for every budget!
It has two built in fans, one in the back, one one the top. But no LED lighting.
Here is the link. It looks pretty damn good if you ask me.
Okay, I was wrong about your case, looking at the picture, it's only 10.6 inches from the rear ports to the drive cages.
It might be a tough fit for your EVGA card. You may barely get it in there. You might be fine, but it'll be close. I had the same issue with my Antec case in one of my PCs.
You'll want to check if you can remove those drive bay cages. If you can, then you're fine. I know some Coolermasters are pretty modular and let you remove stuff easily.
On my Antec, however, it was drilled into the case so it was going to be a tough to remove as I couldn't simply unscrew the cage.
If you want a popular case (often recommended here), that will be easy to work with and for sure will fit your card (and much larger ones, too), you can try the NZXT S340 case which is about $10 (canadian) more than the Coolermaster on Amazon.ca. I'm from the US so I don't know what places have the best deals in Canada.
edit: added Amazon link
It should be fine. However, I would recommend the NZXT S340. Plenty of space to work with and a great minimalistic design, I use one myself with a 1070.

NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case CA-S340W-B1 (Glossy Black)
Yeah I've decided to go for one 1080 for now, thanks for that! One last thing - would this be an okay alternative for the case, only due to it being on prime and time being a factor.
No problem, good to see such a detailed response.
2x4 is going to be slightly faster than 1x8 because it utilises dual channel. I said that 1x8 is going to be better for expandability because going for 2x8 in the future will be faster than 4x4 (sounds unintuitive but it is because it is running in dual channel). Personally, I chose 16GB (2x8) because I'm interested in playing games such as PUBG which is known to struggle a bit with only 8GB due to a lack of optimisation, and my budget was a decent amount higher. Although, to be honest I don't think you will see a very big difference in terms of gaming performance (dual channel vs non-dual channel). If you think you will ever upgrade to 16GB, I would go with 1x8, otherwise 2x4 will do well. You can always upgrade to 4x4 in the future if you like. Sorry for not giving an easy solution but there is no correct answer here really. Feel free to take a look at some benchmarks (here and here) to see the difference. Basically any 2400MHz+ RAM with a 14 or 15 latency from a reputable brand will be fine.
I totally agree with the choice to go for 500GB.
That GPU will perform well, but is allegedly very loud. If that is something that will concern you then perhaps look elsewhere if you can, if not then it is a perfectly fine 1060 3GB. Just be conscious that it might really annoy you.
Case recommendations aren't my strong suit, I personally went with the NZXT S340, not because it was particularly great but because I couldn't find anything else that looked better in my opinion. You should try to find a case with good airflow, quality (and quantity) of fans, and a nice design. It also needs to be an ATX case that supports LGA1151 motherboards. I would recommend seeking additional advice from others on this subreddit.
Good choice on the PSU, looks fine to me.
Again monitors aren't something I know a whole lot about, you'll have to ask r/monitors about that one.
Always happy to help :)
Thank you, already pulled the trigger on NZXT S340. Hopefully it works out well for me.
Im planning on buying this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NGMIBUU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
My question is which size NZXT Kraken should I get? Is the Kraken size more based on the case or my cooling needs?
Kraken for reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L0YLJJG/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2LYX7FKX6AP16
When will the NZXT S340 ship from Amazon (black model)?

dopechess! dude. If you keep helping me out I'm going to donate some Eth to you.
The Fractal Design Define R4 has great build quality along with noise suppression. It has sound dampening material on the side panels as well as being very heavy; this allows the case to counteract fan and drive vibrations and to absorb sound easily. I have this case and everything runs very quiet even when gaming under heavy load.
Another case that I would recommend researching is the NZXT S340. This case along with the Fractal Design Define R4 are probably among 2 of the most popular cases for PC gaming. I just have a personal preference for the R4 as I have more experience with it.

The Phanteks P400 and P400S are great cases, looking to get a P400S myself.

This case is also highly rated and a good value (but not on sale)

Interesting case and on sale.

Best cheap case, also on sale.
Not cheaper at Newegg. $7.99 shipping on $70 price. Also cheaper than Amazon at $73.
The NZXT S340 is only $65 right now.
IMO, it is easily worth spending an extra $8:

Wow, you and your friends obviously did your research and know your stuff. Most people's friends on this sub are nvidia/intel fanboys.. As for the PSU, corsair is a great brand, and newegg is just letting you get a Mail in rebate. In reality it is a $55 PSU, which is about average for 500w. My only (very minor) complaint is the case. You could get a much nicer looking case for that price (Here are two great ones):

Other than that, great!
Whoops, that card is out of stock on Newegg already. Can you recommend alternatives, or should I just order it from bhphotovideo.com ?
also, this case should work right ? https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Tower-Computer-White-CA-S340W-W1/dp/B00NGMIBUU/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1499910874&sr=1-1&keywords=nzxt%2Bcase&th=1
Alright I'm guessing you have a pretty big budget so here's a list:
If you're on a smaller budget the S340 and the Zalman are great options.
Oh, haha. Man, as soon as I added it to my cart in Amazon, they raise the price $30. Guess I'll have to find another one.
Edit: This one looks neat. Anyone have a suggestion?
Edit 2: Wait what, I don't understand the case I linked. Can't find the power button, dvd, and front air intakes?? Looks neat thought.Ah, okay. Found the NewEgg link. Looks like a top power button and no DVD drive. Guess I don't use one anyway, but how do I install Windows 8.1 on it?I like the build. Do you think The NVIDIA GTX 1080 works on that motherboard ? Also which country are you browsing from ?
Maybe I'll go 4K do you know good screens ?
edit: I believe you can share each part's product page. If it isn't too much asking.
I also saw the CPU on LDLC (http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00221456.html)
Is this the RAM ? (https://www.grosbill.com/4-kingston_kvr21n15s8_8-682915-informatique-memoire_ddr4)
Don't I also need a SATA for space ?
Is this the (https://www.amazon.fr/Corsair-CP-9020097-EU-VS550-PLUS-Alimentation/dp/B00LMBWSI8) the PSU.
And this is the case (https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Computer-Glossy-Black-CA-S340W-B1/dp/B00NGMIBUU)
tis could be the GPU (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1080-GAMING-3DisplayPort/dp/B01GLYD7MG/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487173061&sr=1-3&keywords=gtx+1080)
Do you know if this case is good? I was wanting a bit clearer case. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NGMIBUU/?tag=xtremegaminer-20
hai scelto lo stesso case che ho io, fa schifo, non prenderlo assolutamente. Io penso che cambierò con questo, vedi se va bene.
for the ram use this:https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-16-Memory-Skylake-Compatible/dp/B00TY6A1LY/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1475265516&sr=1-1&keywords=DDR4+Ram
and for the case use this (pick the color you want): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NGMIBUU/ref=twister_B00XJRNCVA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
If these parts exceed the budget let me know
Why don't you buy this one?

Looks better and costs less!
I've done a QUICK search regarding that PSU and this is what came up first: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1988049/coolermaster-elite-500w-psu-dangerous-computer.html
I'd advise you to get a better PSU. I personally am buying this one:
https://www.amazon.com/XFX-ATX12V-EPS12V-Supply-P1-650G-TS3X/dp/B00I64OYM2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467654108&sr=8-1&keywords=TS3X
You even get a 5y warranty!
Cases are a personal preference. This is something you're going to be looking at often. I recommend getting a mid-tower case so you can continue to use it in the future, especially if you decide to build a PC and want to get an ATX motherboard. Full list of cases in your price range. A few suggestions:
NZXT S340 - $70. One of the more popular cases on PCMR and for good reason. Steel construction, tons of airflow, and great cable management. However, you forfeit 5.25" drive bays (your current PC is a pre-built, so I'm certain you still have an optical drive).
Lepa LPC502 - $60. Mid-tower case. Comes with 2 blue LED fans. PSU shroud and lots of cable management options. Space in front for 2 120mm fans for intake. There was a black version, but I can't find it anywhere.
If you want to buy him a single part rather than just an Amazon or Newegg giftcard, I would recommend buying the case.
The case is the tower itself, where all the parts go. This is probably one of the easiest parts to choose, as it's mainly down to personal preference and aesthetics. I would recommend a case which says it is compatible with ATX motherboards, as this is the most common size of motherboard and will give him the most choice. Anything with "ATX mid-tower" is what you need. "Micro-ATX" and "Mini-ITX" are different, not what I would recommend unless you know for sure he wants motherboards of those sizes. You will also see "ATX Full Tower" cases, which will probably be much too big. These are mainly only used for massive system builds.
If you want my advice, I would recommend the NZXT S340. It's a very nice visually appealing case, has a large side window to see the components, comes in a variety of colours, is a reasonable price and comfortable to build in.
If you have no idea what to get or feel overwhelmed, you can just get him an Amazon or Newegg gift card.
If you need any further help, r/buildapc is a very good place to ask.
Edit: On a second thought, why not buy him a nice mechanical keyboard to game with? (Assuming he doesn't already have one). Here's a good one
I editied your build a bit.
