I will just say a couple things and you can check your preferred website to see if they have it

Cases - Lian Li and Cooler Master 912, 922, and HAF X are what I see a lot of people recommending around here. I don't have experience with any of those, but I did order me a new Lian Li case this last Monday.

Corsair 600w. This is good, stay with it.

Sound Card - Overrated, onboard sound is probably good enough. Just don't order one until you try the onboard sound and determine whether it is good enough for you. Realistically, it is good enough for about 95% of people I would guess.

Keyboard / Mouse - Logitech makes good stuff, but for the most part these are commodities. Just take whatever has the lowest price and it will probably be good enough. I have mice that I never use that have like 8 buttons on them. Regardless how many they have I only ever really use 2 and sometimes the scroll wheel.

Monitor - Mostly the same thing. Commodity purchase for most people. Figure out what size you want and then shop around for the lowest price. Once you find it, check the reviews to ensure that lots of people aren't complaining about it and if they aren't you are probably fine.

Speakers - I mostly just use my computer with the sound completely off so I am not the best judge, but for the times when I do need to use sound I have one of those sound bars for my DELL monitor that attaches to the bottom of the monitor. I love it. I would suggest one of these for everybody.

@Raiddinn Yeah, they have those cases but i'm not sure what case to choose yet. Please suggest a motherboard guys and a case as well. I won't get a sound card and speakers anymore.

Really the motherboard doesn't matter super much.

If I knew more about your future plans with the PC I could tell you a bit better.

I will assume for now that you don't intend to add a second video card at the same time or that you won't want to put crazy amounts of RAM in it.

If so, this motherboard is probably good enough

GIGABYTE GA-H67M-D2-B3 LGA 1155 Intel H67 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

I'll be overclocking and i won't SLI.

Motherboard?

 

[Slabz]

I will need a z68 motherboard. Please suggest based on the link i have posted. Thanks. http://www.tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=PCHub

I can think of a dozen things off the top of my head that I would rather do to cause pain and suffering for myself than to use that user unfriendly website to do comparison shopping.

I did a quick scan for a name I recognized as good and the first thing I came across was this

ASRock Z68 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

I would rather teach you how to fish rather than handing you a possibly not cost effective fish, but if you want to be handed a fish there you go.

- Edit - In case it isn't clear. I can't guarantee that the one I wrote is a good deal or not. There may be better deals available but I refuse to look for them. I only wrote that one because it is the first thing I saw that I think will do what you want.
