$1200 build suggestions?

Morpheus

Hey guys, I'm building a rig soon and the budget is $1200. I have had 2 builds before with AMD cpus & gpus so I wanna try intel and nvidia hardware this time just for the hell of it. Anyone want to head over to pcpartpicker (make sure it's in Canada) and suggest a build? Don't need OS, monitor, keyboard, mouse, mousepad, headset, speakers  :P

SSD is optional and case is a personal preference

Ah, well then that money can go to a better case or overclocking capability then.
