So I have never done a build before...... Like I stated above, I would really like to keep the final price (minus monitor) between $900-$1000 Canadian. Here are my wants;
- Intel CPU (Don't overclock, and don't plan on to)
- ATX size motherboard (Looking for great quality, possibly one that includes on board sound so I don't need a separate sound card and one that includes wi-fi)
- Video card (I do like gaming, but I'm not a diehard gamer...I enjoy playing games like Farcry 3, Diablo 3...but I don't want something that is going to be outdated tomorrow.

Overall, I just want quality parts that work well with one another.

You can save alot of money by NOT getting an amazing Mobo. if your not overclocking and arn't a huge gamer buy a cheaper one and sink money into a better cpu/gpu and QUALITY PSU (Im a corsair man myself). i know its not a list im just on a break but thats my two cents
 
Will get you Ultra/Max at 1080p, and will last a long time on at least High in everything.
