I am saving for a $1000 gaming pc to play BF3/4, Skyrim, AC3, Dayz, ARMA, PlanetSide 2 etc. at high to ultra settings... Should i save a bit longer and get a $1500 build so i can get a better CPU/GPU, and an SSD/ other things? (WILL BE OC'ing)

also i may record gameplay, code apps/games and do 3D modeling...
