1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mainly multimedia, watching youtube. Most intensive thing would be light gaming (Dota 2)
Needs to be Wifi enabled.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$650 or less before tax/shipping
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Canada. Will most likely buy from memoryexpress.com
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
This is a new build.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model
I want to reuse my laptop SATA 3 gb/s harddrive if possible.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
24"
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
This week or next week
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
HDMI, USB 3.0, WiFi enabled
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Nope.
The most intensive thing I'll be doing is playing Dota 2 on this rig. I'm not sure which low-mid end video card will suit my needs.

I am looking for the best parts possible. Best bang for buck. The case doesn't have to be anything spectacular, just has to get the job done.
I am aware of the Haswell release but would like to build this asap
Thanks
