1. Budget & Location
You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

 

Must be bought on newegg.ca

2. Aim
What is the system going to be used for? Web browsing, 3D work? Different systems need different levels of performance - a computer based for web browsing and office use won't handle heavy graphic design and video editing and a proper video editing system isn't good for gaming. If your aim is for gaming, please list what sort of gaming. In the same way that different usage types need different systems, you'll need a lot more power to run Far Cry 3 or Crysis 2 than you would Minecraft.

 

Just web browsing and checking e-mails, perhaps very light gaming

3. Monitors
How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

 

1 1080p 20-22" monitor

4. Peripherals
Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

Just the monitor

 

 

also, Corsair case is a must (200r is what I got), intel build, and an SSD (840 evo)

For <1000$ you could get WAY more than a "web browsing, emails, and light gaming", so I wasn't exactly sure on what price range to pick.

This is quite powerful, and you could spend way less if you wanted to. It will kill any game, be able to multitask easily, and will be relevant for many years.

Wasn't sure if you had the SSD or not. Its in the price.

If you want something less powerful and cheaper, please just ask.
