AMD FX 8120; 8 Cores @ 4.21Ghz On Liquid (AMD is a better choice)
ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ 990GX Chipset
SLi Nvidia GTS 450's
Dominator 8Gb DDR3 @ 2100Mhz (With Spreaders)
SunBeam Acrylic Glass Case
Antec 880W Gold 80 Certified

These are my specs but i only paid like 800$ for it... YOu'd save alot!

AMD "bulldozer" is really impressive, but they aren't available here yet.

Er, Actually.

The 8-core Cpu's don't even match up to Sandy Bridge COre i5 2500.

it's actually worse then it's Previous line of six cores to =/

Don't know, but now a days i believe even the integrated graphics card on a laptop computer using the second generation core architecture is capable of doing that, it isn't so high end anymore.

Recently I actually made a build for someone on another forums, I happened to make it on Komplett.ie, a great Irish computer part retailer which is owned by a Dutch fellow. Now this is a bit over your budget but it can give you an idea of what I would build and what it comes down to, in fact it's actually pretty much the same as my PC asides from a more powerful graphics card I have.

Total €1,129.90

You could definitely save money by cutting out the SSD, downgrade the processor to an i2600k, get a less powerful graphics card, get a cheaper case and maybe a slightly lower powered PSU. Then you could easily bring it down to your budget level without losing much performance power.

Typically AMD is a better choice for saving money, but Intel would give you far more bang in every case, plus the over-clocking capabilities of the new Sandy Bridge processors is amazing. I would go for Intel if I were you and save money on the graphics card being ATI instead of nVidia.
