A friend of mine has decided to switch over to the master race. He decided to put down $1000 (up to $1200 if necessary), to build a high end gaming rig. He wants to be able to play pretty much every game thrown at him max settings (or at least high) 1080p 60 to 120 fps. Will this fit the bill?
It was recommended to save some money on mobo and wireless adapter and get the 280x. Good idea?

Also, as you can see we have no peripherals picked out, so any suggestions on that front are welcome. The monitor was the best deal we could find, but we know next to nothing about monitors, so any input would be nice.
