With my new build I'd like to play all the new games at medium detail if possilbe but currently I only play cs & css. My budget for this build is around 1000 CDN.

CPU - Q6750/$200 CDN http://www.canadacomputers.com/mai [...] cid=CPU.84

MB - I have no idea, 100-150ish dont need DDR3

Video - HD 3850/$210 CDN http://www.canadacomputers.com/mai [...] 99.243.272

Memory - I have no idea which brand but i'd like it to be 2GB and around 200 CDN if possible

Case - Antec 900/$120CDN if I can find it

HD - Use my current 80GB SATA Maxtor

DVD-R - Use current one

PSU - TR2 Thermaltake 500W I think it should be enough not sure thought

Anyone have any advice on what I should get for the motherboard and memory ? Or any other general advice

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L will be good option for your build if you want to OC alot then DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL is good. Other than If you are hoping to upgrade to crossfire or SLI then you can consider MSI P35 Neo2-FR or MSI P6N SLI Platinum for SLI
