| What is your budget so that we can consider parts for your build?

My suggestion is not to build, but to buy from ebay since you live in Canada.
I live in canada and from my experience parts here are expensive and not worth building your own.
Although if you go to ebay, you can search for a computer there, they're usually cheaper. Look at etccomputers and LU computers on ebay.
I recommend them because they have good service and the good part is, if you want something changed or taken out from the computer, they'll do it and just deduct the price of the item that you have removed / add the price of the newly changed item to the computer. Just email them.
Do not go on their site though, they are more expensive.
Got a spare hard drive laying around? Here's a good deal.

| Fans come with the case and the processor comes with the thermal compound already applied.

All Celerons and Pentiums are dual-cores now. Anyway, in my edit, I included a Pentium.
You could use the motherboard you chose; I was just going through Newegg and looking at whatever was cheap and had somewhat decent reviews.
Also, you have some room to improve, be it another gig of RAM, a bigger hard drive, or a better processor. It would cost a little more though (obviously), but would probably still be within your budget.

| AMD is cheaper but performance-wise, will doom you. Intel is far off in the long run.
