Another irritating Help Build My Computer thread!

So apparently using Boot Camp to put XP on your MacBook Pro breaks hard drives, so I've decided to build a separate machine. Plz no mac v windows argments plzkthx

Anyways... hoping to keep the budget around 1000 CAD (that is somewhat flexible). Since it's been about 9 years since I last built a PC I have ZERO idea what I'm doing at the moment. I don't have any prospective parts either as I'm just starting to look into this.

Advice received so far:

AMD CPU
AM3 motherboard from Asus or MSI
EVGA built nVidia video card

Please help add to this list. I can't go from NewEgg so I'm basing prices off tigerdirect.ca

Also: Should I bother buying a separate network card or should I be good with the on-board one?

Please suggest stuffs.

EDIT: Oh hey, there's a newegg.ca, never mind previous comment about newegg.
