Looking at this build, what do you think? Anything overpriced? Underpriced? Will Bottlenecking occur? Any recommendations to update parts?

(Need to stay in the same price range 1000 USD

Pretty decent. If you want to future proof your build, you can stick just a bit more money into it. The 3570k is basically the mainstream CPU for gaming providing a really high level of performance for the price. It can overclock too, which means if in 2 years you need a power boost, just clock it to 4.2ghz or so. It's totally worth the extra. The memory is also way faster dual channel at 1866 Cas 9.

If you consider SLI in the future, look up different boards, I'm assuming you went micro ATX for a reason, but if you want SLI, you should get an ATX board. The PSU is up to you, normally I'd try to get something close to 60A on the 12v rail. But again that depends if you are considering SLI in the future (which that CPU will still be able to handle).
