You guys are far better then I at this. So here is what I need or am looking at for a friend.

He would like a Haswell build. The main use will be home work machine. Will have multiple Virtual Machines running so Ram and CPU power is a must.
Would like an i7 but if it can't fit the budget then minimum of i5.

Budget = $1000
No OS, Monitor's needed.

Light gaming would include WoW and older titles. Discrete Gpu is not a must. Can be picked up later on.

Thanks!!

Looks good!

Any other suggestions / changes?

Also... How well does the discrete graphics for haswell perform? Ive seen benchmarks all over the the place. If I were to drop the Monitor / GPU off of your build it would fit the budget perfectly.
