Hey,
My band and I are looking into buying a PA system for rehearsal purposes
and maybe for small clubs. We would need 2 mics for vocals, 2 for kick
and snare, 2 for overheads,2 for guitars, and maybe one for bass. and The
price range would be about $1200 US.

Can anyone tell me what would be a good system and if I'm taking the right
approach for counting the channels that would be needed. i have no
experience in live sound and would really appreciate the advice.

I can't imagine wanting guitars & snare (or even kick, really) in a
rehearsal PA. I wouldn't usually put guitars through the PA in a small
club either (unless either your amps are really tiny, or else your
definition of "small club" is drastically different than mine).
