1. I will be building a $1000 computer for gaming use. I chose the best parts I could find at my budget.
2. I will be overclocking. The stock is 4.7Ghz, I want to try to get 5Ghz.
3. I will be on a 1080p monitor.
4. I do not have brand preferences, but I heard the FX9590 was the best CPU if you have the power.

Do not. Do not buy the 9590. It runs extremely hot and a reviewer compared it to a nuclear reactor. The 8320 is good when overclocked.
Grabbed a 8320 which will overclock really well with that mobo and H100i. Gota 970 instead of 290. The value of the 970 is amazing. Lastly, found a good quality semi-modular PSU.

Dont get that CPU. as ppl already said, it runs extremely hot.
an fx 8320 is easily overclockable to the performance of an fx 8350. and the fx 8350...well yea you can do quite some overclocking with that. I sugest the fx 8350 then.
the fx 8370 is pretty much an overclocked fx 8350 like the 8350 is an overclocked 8320.
with the money you'll save you can get yourself an nvidia gtx 970 which will perform better then that card while not being much more expensive, producing less heat and consume less power.

Your budget just changed from $1060 to $900. Lots of change. However, at minimum I'd get the Asus M5A97 R2.0(non LE). Th LE edition isn't good for overclocking. The Rosewill Hive is a good PSU but so is the Antec. And since both are semi-modular but the Antec is cheaper I'd get the Antec, plus the savings you can put into getting the Asus M5A97 R2.0

You'll be hard pressed to touch 5ghz with an 8320 if thats what you are shooting for they are binned lower and generally take much higher voltage for example when i had my 8320 i could not get it to budge past 4.6Ghz stable on an h100i at about 1.4v i would go 8350 if 5ghz is what you're looking for otherwise that intel build rockie posted looks pretty solid though with the money saved just bump up to the 4690k

Given the choice. I'd easily take the i5 build. Something important to consider. You could skip the CPU cooler and spend more on your mobo, then in 6 months buy the Cooler Master Evo or whatever you want and overclock the pants off that 4690k. There is no rule you have to overclock right away.
Awesome build. I'd love to have that system!
