Okay, so my CM-690 is on its way. I was reading around and a Core i7 would only go a little over budget, and maybe not even considering prices may drop when I actually buy the internals. If I want to drop the price a little, I can switch to 4gb ram. This way my pc will probably last longer than the with the Ph II 720.. Have a look.

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX - $109.99
Intel Core i7 920 - $349.99
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R - $260.49
XIGMATEK Dark Knight - $49.99
XFX GeForce GTX 260 - $250.49
OCZ 6GB DDR3 1333 - $116.99
Western Digital Caviar Black 650gb - $99.99
SAMSUNG Black 22X DVD+R - $29.99

Current total: $1,267.92 CAD
After rebates: $1207.92 CAD
Total after shipping/tax: $1,377.56 CAD

Why get IDE DVD when you can get SATA? NCIX shipping is cheaper. If you're outside of BC, you pay 5% tax.

The rest looks good.

Honestly I didn't even take a look at the samsung I just picked it out so I could go to bed (~1:00 am). I live in BC, but I didn't know about the price matching on ncix.

I'd get the P6T SE instead, it will allow for a full 12gb of ram in triple channel.

$10 more, I don't see how a better mobo would hurt, thanks. I held off on a cpu cooler so I can do that another time, I didn't add any ram because the OCZ 6gb was out of stock and I may drop to 4gb. This is all before taxes and price matches. The XFX 260 is $220 with rebates! Anything else to add?
