For a mobo, I like the Z87 Plus, or the ASRock Extreme 4 is always a safe choice. I wouldn't skimp too much on your motherboard; you'll want something that offers a variety of connectivity options, especially something that's future-proof as the market's constantly changing its standards.
The rest of your build looks fine, just add in a 650-750w PSU (modular if you can), at least a TB of HDD space, an aftermarket CPU cooler and case fans are always a safe bet, and if you can afford it I'd definitely recommend throwing an SSD to increase performance and boot times.
You can buy most components on newegg.ca or NCIX. I personally buy my parts from Memory Express, as they match and beat online prices.

Cool man.. It's to be noted that a lot of places are charging the same for the Over Clocked version of the 760 and the not over clocked.
A good mobo for what you'll be doing is the Asus H87M-Plus .. Just make sure you're LGA sockets match up (i.e. LGA1150)
I live in BC myself, and I mainly use NCIX.com .. they have good deals on stuff, and they'll get it to your door in less than 48 hours after purchase.
