I am in the exact same boat as you. After looking around for a bit, I decided to do my own frame up build because I found a great deal on my frame. I ordered the rest of my parts online. I'll be well under $1000 for a aluminum/carbon frame carbon fork with all parts brand new 105 level or higher.

I would say Tiagra/105 is pretty much entry level gear, 105=SLX/LX in MTB parts and Tiagra=Deore.
