I am new to building PC's and I'm planning to build a $1000 Gaming PC. My question is should i save a little bit longer and go for a $1500 build so I can get a better CPU/GPU, SSD and or better hardware?

I need a OS, and a 1080p monitor... also OS windows 7 (dont care if OEM copy) and i want to code games and mobile apps /3d modeling projects and play games like BF3/4, Skyrim, Dayz, ARMA 3, etc. at High/Ultra settings @ 1080p...

Yes I do plan to overclock.
 
I would recommend saving up a bit more. Here's what you can get:
