Here's something more in the middle:

Case: Antec 300 ($65)
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 ($250)
Mobo: Gigabyte P55-UD3R ($150)
RAM: 4GB G.SKILL F3-15000CL9D-4GBRH Ripjaws ($120)
Video Card: HD 4890 ($180)
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB ($110)
DVD: anything around $25
PSU: Corsair VX550 ($100)
Monitor: Samsung 2343BWX 23IN ($200)

Total: $1200

That's a pretty awesome build that will do a lot more than what you need it for and comes well under your stated budget. You could save a bit on the video card and get a 4870, get a slightly cheaper 640GB HDD, and cheaper RAM which would all knock off about $100. Plus you could definitely save money by timing your purchases and price matching using pricecanada.ca
