On my previous thread, I was told that I should focus more about components than the peripherals. So I made this build this morning, and I need to have some assistance about choosing the right GPU, PSU, and MoBo.
I will exclude the peripherals since I can go to my local best buy or tech shop and get some over there.

Otherwise, same rules apply. Can I play at 1080p? At medium-ultra settings? Is my PSU right?

My budget is still $1000, so I have tons of room for upgrades.
Any recommendations welcome.
