i5 2500k Sandy Bridge CPU $150 from Frys
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Gskill 8gb DDR3 1600 (12800) Ram, $55 from Newegg
so that leaves $345 for the motherboard, power supply, hard drive, cd drive, and case
For now I'm in no need of a GPU, the integrated graphic on the i5 2500k should be good enough according to the review I've seen on anandtech and notebookcheck. I play Blizzard games and I don't mind running them on low, but unless I misread the reviews then please let me know. I need help picking a motherboard out, not really sure which one to choose.
For a power supply I thought i'd go with this one allowing me to add in a decent GPU in the future

For a hard drive I chose this, but would like some recommendations if there is a better one

CD Drive

$19.99
Case

$59.99
That leaves about $160 for a motherboard. I would prefer not to go and get a $160 motherboard, some left over money would be nice.
Oh and this may be a stupid question, but would I need to buy anything to connect the computer to my router with an ethernet cable? or is it part of the motherboard?
Anyway thanks for checking this post out
