Wanting to get a custom built computer(Budget possible $1.1k) - Hardware & Software

I've been wanting to get a custom made computer for awhile now, the whole she-bang. Case, CPU, GPU, Ram, Mobo, HDD.. The necessary. I've contacted a friend that I knew was somewhat into computers, he tried to help me out, but got into a argument about how I'd be wasting my money if I got a decent computer now that could run maybe Crysis 2 or BC2 on high without any problems. This is where I'm stuck, I want to wait to get a possibility at maybe getting cheaper items but still have the same quality, or get the items now, have a good time. Work(if I get a job, I put out my application for a license and will be applying soon for Security). I would able to gain more money, possibly if I get that job. My computer as of right now is slowly dying out, my PSU fan is.. Not working right, I hear brzz and phizzes from it. It's a 5-6 year old computer, the newest bits in it are.. Maybe 2 years old. As of right now, I can only be limited to playing little games. World of Warcraft, Dragon Age 2, Team Fortress 2(I haven't even played it for awhile now, 12 fps is not a fun experience). Battlefield 2, which I still need to have low decals on everything. WoW as well, to run properly. What's in my computer as of now, Intel P4(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2CPUs), ~3.0GHz 2GB Ram(1 GB stick/2 512'sMB sticks) 8800 GTS 320 MB nVIDIA 600W OCZ Tech SXS(I think thats the name) Mobo... Unknown. All in all it was decent in it's time, the GPU/PSU is the only upgraded parts. Still, they're old, and dusty. Also running on Windows 7. I would really like some help with this, I'm at a boggly mind if I should wait.. Or if I can get you guys to help me with a decent build that will run games like BC2 at high without a problem. I do not mind not having the best of the best build out of there, hell, for the money I don't expect a lot. I do expect to play games at decent fps instead of 15, though. Thanks for reading, and if you can help. Thank you again. Edit, I should of mentioned. I'm from Canada, so if you can please use newegg.ca for a better reference of pricing, it'd be a whole lot better :)

You could reuse your PSU but since you have a high budget might as well get a beefier one. I'll start working on it a bit later.

650w will be fine for any system not running SLI or crossfire, etc. 600w should be just fine, I don't see the point in wasting $100 on a PSU when you could put that $100 into something else.

If anything I could try and hook it all up with the new build and see how it goes, hopefully I'll have some more money if I do.

They go down in efficiency too, so better get a new one.

save 8 bucks by getting the 2500k + hyper212 combo 620w is a good amount but if he wants to add another 570 later it will be a little too small, you can run dual 570s on 650w but i doubt it would last long at load

then go for this one, it costs just a bit more than the Seasonic since the Seasonic gets raped by shipping, and it comes with $35 USD rebate [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371021&cm_re=antec_650w-_-17-371-021-_-Product[/url] And it can output 648W on the 12V, compared to the 576W on the Seasonic 620W

OP is going to NCIX in ontario, gonna get pricematches ect.
