Need Parts for a $1000 PC

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas :DAnyways, I need some specs and parts for a new PC that I will soon built (yes I know how to built/fix PCs). It's just that I don't know what parts I should get. Everything has to be $1000 (Canadian, not USD or any other dollar) or less because that's my budget ::)My main usage of this PC would be gaming and editing. Everything else (such as browsing the Internet) can be done with any PC, even the crappy one that I have right now.DO I want it to look cool? Hell yeah! ;DI was thinking of a Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid Tower ATXAN Intel or AMD Quad Core (i5 or Phenom X4 Black Edition)
At least 4 GB of DDR3 RAM
1 TD Hard Drive
1 GB of GDDR5 on the Graphics CardEverything else such as the motherboard, etc. you guys choose.Thanks.

AFAIK only ATI cards use GDDR5.a Phenom II x4 is considerably better than an i5.
