Personally I'd reccomend the 4200 or 4600 ... IMO, AMD procs arent cache-starved like Intel chips ... botht he 4200 and 4600 have 512K of L2 cache per core and the 4200 runs the same speed and the 4600 runs 200Mhz faster.

With your budget of 2155CAD, here's a counter proposal:
- AMD Athlon64 X2 4200 [ADA4200DAA5BV, 565CAD]
- OCz Premier PC3200 [CL2.5, 135CAD]
- OCz Premier PC3200 [CL2.5, 135CAD]
- NEC 3540A [55CAD]
- Maxtor DiamondMax10 250GB [16MB, 125CAD]
- Maxtor DiamondMax10 250GB [16MB, 125CAD]
- BFG 7800GT [490CAD]
- MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum [150CAD]
- Antec NeoPower 480W [12V@33A, 120CAD]
Subtotal = 1900CAD

Just something to work with
