Well thats not to hard of a build because like you said you definitely don't need a fancy gpu, and you can buy a simple mobo because you obviously won't need any special features such as overclocking features. To be honest you don't really need to spend $1000 bucks if you are just going to be using stuff like word processor. Now if you are going to be using video/audio editing software or similar applications then yeah that might be a good idea. But if you really want to i would just go with a intel i7 920, that is probably what you need, not to expensive but you really don't need anything more then that. I would get a really cheap gpu just in case, maybe like a gtx 8800, maybe even something cheaper like a GT 220. With ram you probably don't need anymore then 4gb with simple applications that you will be using, personal for your use i would go with ddr2 but if you want get ddr3, but its more expensive. I would just get a cheap mother board that supports what you need and just go ahead and get a 1tb hard drive just in case you have any large projects. But like I said i wouldn't spend $1000 bucks if you aren't going to do anything major.
