Its been a loooong time since I've put together a computer, and feel like a fish out of water trying to put something together. I'm working with approximately $1000. I already have mouse, keyboard, monitor, and HDD (2TB in my current computer will be swapped into new). I play a mix of fps, mmo, and adventure (ex. assassin's creed) games. Here is what I'm thinking about:

I'm not locked into anything here, and am really torn between ATI or Nvidia (GTX 760?) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
