Read stickies on how to post first.

Are you preferring Intel/nVidia? Are you going to SLI?
I would with DDR3 at this budget (along with Phenom II or Core i7).

CPU & Board
Q8200 & XFX MB750I72P9 for 350$ if you plan on doing multitasking
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Combo [...] mbo.189608
E7400 & XFX MB750I72P9 for 280$ if you plan on gaming/overclocking, similar performance to 8400 and 60$ less.
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Combo [...] mbo.189609

Come out at 640$ with the Q8200 and at 570$ with the E7400.
With this you get better performances for less money.

But... what are you going to use it with?

I want something that is quiet and runs cool most importantly.
Secondly I want something that is decent at 1900 x 1200 so that I can play crysis.

Phenom can go a lot further paired with a 790FX chipset and a 4870 (or two?) is a pure killer, costs a lot less than Intel and on your budget you can also invest in some cooling devices to overclock your chip.
