[Build Ready]Gaming Build under $1500 CAD

Looking to build a gaming PC that can run newly released games at 60fps on a single 1080p display. My goal is to keep the build under $1500 dollars through Canadian retailers. So far this is what I have decided on after looking at many builds on this subreddit. Any comments or suggested improvements would be greatly appreciated.

Planning on setting up a SLI for a future update when it is needed.
