This is the build I made, but it is kinda over my budget, I want it to be closer to $1000. What can i downgrade without losing much performance? I will be mostly playing games with this PC, like BF4 and DayZ.

Might be able to make it even cheaper too as some of your sources for parts are cheaper than some on my list.

Thank you guys for the quick answers. Some things:

1. I am not buying from any of those stores, I just used pc part picker to show you guys the parts I want to buy.
2. The place I'm buying from doesn't have those RAM you both stated.
3. GTX 770 costs the same as the R9 280x from where I'm buying.
4. People have told me that the Corsair CX series aren't very good and you can't buy the XFX PSU from my place.
