Im going to be running Vista Home premium from Tigerdirect.ca (Cheaper) And a LG 20" Monitor from Future shop (saves on shipping) those two together are about $300, and the budget for the computer it self is about $1,000 give or take
Canadian dollar doesn't seem to be buying much atm 
I tried hard to rework your build. Looked at NCIX and Direct Canada. Looks like you have found the best deals.

@Proximon: Welcome to our monopoly money.
For your build, you might be tempted to get a 640wd black instead of the 500gig one and for the monitor, there are cheap 22s out there that do the job quite nicely such as this:
http://www.bestdirect.ca/products/ [...] A/Samsung/ for 200$.
For all of your canadian prices, you should doublecheck with www.pricebot.ca since it takes all of 2min and may make you save money.
I.e. 66$@ bestdirect.ca for the hdd instead of 79$ at newegg, 91$ psu instead of 122$, case 65$ instead of 73$, ram 51$ instead of 65$, etc etc.
the folks at bestdirect.ca really have nice prices atm
