Your $1,0o0 rig is over $1,600 on PCPP :)

I really think you're crippling ya build w/ a 18.5" low resolution (1366 x 768) monitor. All that machine is wasted on such low res screen.

Here's a build Im doing for a neighbor's kid

MoBo - $350 - MSI Z87-G45 $20 off w/ promo code NEMB0920, ends 9/22
CPU - included - Intel Core i5-4670k http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899

Cooler - $75 - Phanteks PH-TC14 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709011

Case - $200 - Corsair 500R http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1390812
PSU - included - Corsair TX750 $200 - $30 MIR

GFX - $260 - MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce...

Should i remove the razor death stalker keyboard
 


This is $500 over budget.

16gb RAM is stupid for a gaming PC. games use 3.3gb. 8gb is more than enough
That Case is not the best by far for the price.
Don't need paste because the cooler come with better paste anyway.
No SSD for this budget? WHY?

The build this guy posted is over $1600 and the $1000 is just for the CPU
16GB RAM is less if you are streaming HD

Have a look at what I commented on your build. Those changes should be made for sure.
 


This looks MUCH better. Go with this for sure.

SSD does nothing except boot OS and load Games faster and benchmarks...
 


It does alot more than 16gb RAM for a gaming build. It is generally a normal thing to have in a build $900+.
 


Its just a closed loop water cooler. Easy, but don't get it. get air cooling. You less money you can cool better and make WAY less noise.
