Any advice on companies to shop with? Parts to buy if you suggest I build it?
You should feel bad, you're steering your character and you're doing it in low resolution!

I'm not familiar with Canadian stores (or Canadian prices) but in PC Gamer UK they built a very capable PC for under £900, including keyboard, headset, mouse and even monitor so it's cheaper than you may think. Their forums are very helpful too and you can even watch them build that very rig here and here.
