No. You can do a lot better with a 1000 dollar budget.

Comparing builds, this Cpu is so far above the one you have listed they aren't even in the same class. Includes solid motherboard and a cooler so you can get a mild to medium overclock with it. Psu is large enough to handle the rig no problems, stuck with a much cheaper white case(my wife has a red version of this one, and it really is nice). Upgraded video card. Larger SSD.
