You still need a graphics card for that package too.

And just having an HDMI cable doesn't mean anything, you still need the card inside your computer that you plug it into.

Oh I read it wrong.

Alright, well then I'll go with everything you showe me. I have never bought a computer game in my life and never plan on it. So media is all I really need, crystal clear image and sound.

I kinda want to get a few of those 25" monitors now haha, those are mad cheap.

Also, the graphics card I put out there is only a suggestion, it's not the most amazing card in the world, so you may or may not want to upgrade on that. It's still fermi based so you shouldn't have any problems unless you go and try and play Crysis or something.

Considering everything is going to be around 800-900 with shipping and taxes, I could always upgrade the video card if it's really needed.

If you're Canadian, try http://www.newegg.ca/ , my friend in BC bought his last rig there just three or four months ago.

That board in the combo pack has native HDMI support. Just saying. As far as I know the only CPU that doesn't support integrated video is the intel i5 750 quad.

EnR that combo is pretty much the same except it doesn't have the BLURay included.

All i5 quads and i7s will need a dedicated GPU

All the Arrandale and Clarkdale i5 and i7 have integrated GPUs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core

Its the *Field and *Town series from intel that do not have the integrated GPU.

That's exactly what I said... except I was excluding mobile versions, since we're talking about desktops.

Yes, you'll need to buy Windows 7.

Also, my nephew built an extremely good GAMING rig and it only cost him $1300. Most of it was the keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, and graphics card (which you won't need a beastly one.)

AMD Phenom II X4 920 Quad Core

4GB DDR3?

Get i7 950s instead >:]
and a generic class 2 graphics card

The 950 is garbage. All it is is a slightly overclocked 920, just get a 920. (Or is it 930?)
