not sure yet about the motherboard. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I would settle on a MOBO first before picking the RAM to make sure they will be compatible.

Asus makes a lot of MOBOs. Speed costs money; how fast do you want to go? (In other words, what's your budget?)

depends hows this one?

http://www.amazon.ca/Asus-Z87M-PLUS...=1391137548&sr=8-32&keywords=asus+motherboard

That one hasn't been getting very good reviews. Is there a reason you want to go with a micro-ATX form factor or did you just pull one out of your hat?

Im not actually sure about that. Can you post a link that is better than that?

Again, what is your budget? You will still need things like a HDD, PSU, case, possibly an optical drive, possibly an SSD (highly recommended, btw), OS, etc.

Speaking of OS, which one are you going to use? Win 7? Win 8?

Im thinking not above $1000. I don't need any optical drive. I am going to use windows 7. And I will probably buy all those parts in amazon.ca
