My max budget is $11,984.87 CAD.

Your *MAX* budget is $12K???? :lol:

You also don't need a sound card - they're pretty useless at this point. The onboard audio on the motherboard is all I ever have, and ever used - it's perfectly fine.

You could put together a fairly competent system for ~$2K. Check this build out (it's late and I'm too lazy to post links, plus I'm not sure how Canada's prices compare to US :lol: ):

Case: Corsair Carbide 400R - ~$100
PSU: Corsair AX 1200 - ~$300
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68XP-UD5 - ~$250
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K - ~$230
Cooler: Corsair H100 - ~$119
SSD: 128GB Crucial M4 - ~$210
HD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB - ~$199
Video Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 580 - ~$499
Optical: LG Super Multi BD-R - ~$80
Keyboard / Mouse: Microsoft Cordless Desktop 5000 - ~$60
OS: Windows 7 Pro - ~$140
Monitor: Acer 24" 1080p LED - ~$200

That should run you about $2500 US, probably $2600 - $2700 CAD.
