First Computer $1500 Please Help

[usefullidiot]

I've decided to make my new PC so this is my first draft of what I'm going to buy. I've already got Moniter/Speakers/Mouse/Keyboard/DvD Drive, all I'm missing in the selection is the Mobo which I'm not sure how to figure out which one I need.

Case:

Power Supply:

http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=010076&cid=PS.808

Processor:

http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=010887&cid=CPU.84

Graphics Card:

Hard Drive:

Memory:

http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=012573&cid=RAM.475

Total: $1466.00 (with tax)------$1401.00 with mail-in rebait.

This is what I've got so far, if anyone can find some cheaper alternatives to this stuff then please tell cause I'm really near my budget and the Mobo will put me over I'm sure. Also this website is selling stuff at really low shipping price, The Antec P180 which weighs over 30lb's is shipping for $10. I just checked on Directcanada.com which has better prices and free ground shipping on most of their stuff but the computer case is still cheaper shipping on canadacomputers.com.

That's a great, relatively inexpensive mobo that has acquired a reputation for being an excellent overclocker.

You also may want to consider getting a SATA harddrive, rather than ATA/100.

Other than that, looks like a really solid, well-balanced system that shouldn't let you down.

I think most people go to direct Canada instead. You may try and see which come up cheaper
And you need a M/B
Gigabyte N650SLI-DS4
or Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
or Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6

I personally not fancy on your expensive case. To get a better performance, I will suggest going to a cheaper case with liquid cooling.

From what I can see Direct Canada is cheaper but I'll probably buy the case from Canadacomputers.com because of the $10 shipping. When I get home I'll remake my list with Direct and Mobo and a SATA Harddrive.
