$1200 is a top of the line world class gaming rig with everything up to and including a soundcard, you've got roughly twice the amount of money you need.

 

Just get your parts from newegg, your heatsink and fans from SVC (watch the delta's, they're called "screamers" for a reason), and when everyone and their mother here tells you to stick with Corsair or PC Power and Cooling for your powersupply just fkin do it. Those two are EASILY the highest performing power supplies out there and a psu is the only part of your computer that can damage the others if it goes bad.

 

As for the rest... Antec 900, asus motherboard in the range of $130-$150, Corsair Dominator or OCZ Reaper DDR3 (NOT the most expensive ones, it wont make a difference, honest), either an ATI or Nvidia graphics card whichever's performing best at the moment, this x-fi, whatever intel core i7 is on top but still in your price range, and one of these heatsinks preferrably either the Noctua or Thermalright models since they outperform everything else by MILES.

dont shit out money on a powersupply just like shadow always says

as for a case i would go with an antec 1200 its massive and the gpu's are getting bigger everyday

get a corsair psu modular is a must if you dont mind spending a few extra

if you want to use dx11 get an ati 5970 or 2 5870 in crossfirex

for a cpu go core i7 you have the money to do so

ram i suggest 6gb of ddr3 triple channel g.skill 1600mhz its what i have and love it

That's why I named part classes rather than specific models. You should be able to get them yourself off of newegg.ca, Personally I've given up on taking the time to post completed rigs here because people tend to look at it and then completely ignore us on the most important things.
