Well, you're already over budget, and you don't have a motherboard or blu-ray drive. Also, given the size of the cooler on the graphics card, I'm not sure if you have the necessary clearance in your case. I'd probably recommend going with an AMD Llano build.
Here's what I've come up with:
Case: LIAN LI PC-V351B - $100
Power Supply: PC Power and Cooling Silencer MK III PPCMK3S500 500W - $85
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-A75M-D2H FM1 AMD A75 - $90
CPU: AMD A6-3500 Llano 2.1GHz - $90
RAM: G.SKILL NS 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 - $22
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500413AS 500GB 7200 - $100
Optical Drive: LG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X - $65
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - $110
Total Cost: $662 + Shipping
Mail in Rebates: $30
Final Cost: $632 + Shipping
The Llano processor has an embedded HD6530 graphics unit. That may be enough for your games, but I don't know about HD3D playback. This EVGA Geforce 550TI is comparable to the card you originally listed (no clearance issues), but at $140, it kills your budget.

The case accepts four 80mm fans on the right side. All four set up as exhaust will keep overclocked Intel and AMD systems in check. Doubt you will need any at stock speeds (and low voltage for that matter).

@ Everyone - Please remember the OP is in Canada (inferred by the use of Newegg.ca)
@ GeekApproved - I wanted to go modular, but if that's not an issue for the OP, then the Corsair CX430 - $50 would also be a good choice.
-Wolf sends
Edit: Also, @GeekApproved - With the case the OP selected (I assume that's the preferred choice), the power supply is top mounted over the motherboard. I'd rather not have spare cables dangling above the CPU. Yes, some zip ties and good cable management could resolve that. So could another case.

Thanx everyone for their replies.
The reason I selected the i5 was because its powerful and i could do some gaming on it occasionally.
If I go with A8-3870K + either 6770 or 550ti GPU would that be a decent combo for gaming?
I dont have to buy the GPU now, I can always add that in later if I feel the need.
would A8-3870K (as suggested by ScrewySqrl) or A6-33500(by wolfshadw) be able to handle Blue-ray/3D without additional GPU?
@Wolfshadw-- as for the blue-ray drive, I have a 5.1 home theater system, the receiver has a blue-ray drive, So i'm thinking i wont need the blue-ray drive in this build.

The A8-3870K will handle Blu-Ray/3D playback fine as far as I know.
One of the main features of the Chip is "Blu-Ray 3D"
Avoid the 3870K if your going for a Discrete GPU Higher than a 6670 though.
If you have a 6670 + the 3870k you get HybridXfire - Bringing you 6770 Performance for a lower price.
However, the benefit of the integrated GPU dissapears entirely once you bring anything higher than a 6670 in - it gets disabled by default and you end up with a CPU that costs the same as an i3 with much lower performance and no forseeable benefit over its competition.

So i3 dual-core out performs A8-3870K quad?
Which way would be best, i3+6770 (or 550ti) or A8-3870K + 6670?

Well I was thinking of ripping my Blue-ray to computer..........
... I need a blue ray drive.... Touche Wolfshadw.....touche.....EDIT: @Wolfshadw -- The FM1 mobo you suggested earlier, it seems to have horrible reviews on newegg, people seems to be having video issues with it. Is there any reason you chose that board over another? thanx..

i3/6770 would be better by a mile and a half.
The i3 would destroy the quad. It destroys the X4 965 in gaming, which is much faster than the 3870K.
The only thing about the Llano chips is they have better on-chip grahpics than the i3, but your not going to use that anyways.
The i3 also is only 65w, and without graphics will likely use around 30w.
i3-2120/H61/8GB ram for under $200. Corsair 430w for $16.99. That's a cheap, fast and green setup. The H61 is also upgradable to Ivy Bridge.

the chief advantage of teh 3870 is that it's all-in-one CPU/GPU. its slower than the i3, but better at multitasking, and has much, much stronger graphics compared to the i3's HD2000/3000.
once you start getting discrete cards over a 6670, the LLano's advantage in grapics disappears.
WITH NO GRAPHICS CARD, the llano is vastly superior on-board graphics (able to do decent 720p gaming at medium settings as is) and advertises being able to decode 3D Blu Ray just fine (something the i3 will need a discrete GPU for)

The 550ti is terrible.Everyone on Tomshardware should be telling you to avoid this card like the plague
the 6790 is a much more powerful card for the same price.
for $10 more than the cheapest 550ti, you can get an HIS HD6850, at least on te US Newegg site. Canada should have something similar.
