I'm new here, so sorry for any stupid things said, I have to write this quickly.
My first build, on a $700 budget. Buying online in Canada.

Cooler Master Case http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2541414&SRCCODE=CNETFEED&cm_mmc_o=2mHCjC2WHaCjCVqHCjCdwwp

Antec PSU (optional) http://store.antec.com/Product/power_supply-earthwatts/ea-380d-green/0-761345-27384-8.aspx

MSI Mobo http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130290

AMD CPU http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103871

AMD GPU http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150467

G.SKILL DDR2 SDRAM http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122

WD 1TB HDD (wow $85!) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284

LITE-ON DVD-ROM Drive http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106276

Total: ~ CAD$575 (not incl shipping or tax)

Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (maybe 11.04) http://www.ubuntu.com

I basically want to use Blender and play games, along with doing casual tasks. Would you say this is good? Middle-end?
Most importantly, are these parts compatible?

Thank you very much for answering a noob question!

Why pay for shipping if you don't have to. Those two company's down below are affiliated (both use the same addy in Richmond, BC) and both are probably the most used on this site for Canadian builds. FREE SHIPPING

:D Thanks manu and why_me for answering! Although I couldn't find a few parts on directcanada.cpm so I just went to newegg.ca, and I also decided to allocate 8GB of G.SKILL RIPJAWS RAM.

Just one more question: Do you think I will be able to run Sony Vegas, Ableton Live, Macromedia Flash, and other programs on this Ubuntu system?

Thanks!
