Building a comp for 1,600 Can. No Americans suggestions.

OKi. What i've got so far is..
----------------------------------------------------
Speakers:

Logitech® X-530 5.1---85$ Can.

Sound Card :

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS OEM ---86$ Can

Monitor:

Viewsonic G90fb PerfectFlat Graphic Series 19" --$305 Can.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total: 547.4 Can.

Well. In fact, i realized that i dont have to buy all of this right away. I can buy the sound card and speakers later on. I've got some spare speakers around. But if im building the comp then i'll need the sound card to listen wont i? Oki. So just subtract the amazing speakers.

449.65 Can

I've moved the budget back to 1700, so that leaves..

1,152.6 Canadian.

I can still build a good system with this right? Help would be greatly appreciated.

What i need now is.....

1. A suggested mobo. Keep in mind that i will be buying my own Soundcard so i wont need a soundcard with the mobo

2. To check if all the above parts are compatible with one another. Especially is that vid card is actually any good. And other things that i will be missing, i know some like optical drive i already have, cooling fans i'll get after i finish the system, PSU i'll get later on. Right now i just need to see if th parts are compatible.

P.S.- Sorry for triple posting.

Im assuming u want PCI Express. for a mobo, get the DFI Lanparty nForce4 Ultra-D.

DOnt get the BFG 6600 GT, the eVGA is a much better option. Be sure to get the PCIE version.

About PSUs, be sure to get a brand name, not some generic crap

Oki, but are all of the components compatible with one another? I dont wanna blow 1900 bucks only to find out that the parts cant operate.

And is that mobo u suggested from the list? And is it compatible with my parts?

And the videocard, i cant seem to find a eVGA card. I can only find a XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB DDR3 $258 and its PCI-E. Any good? That or a PCI-E GEFORCE 6600GT DDR3 128MB 128BIT TV-OUT DVI PCI-E
$252
