$1000 PC Build - Gaming - Some parts purchased already

Here is a redone list

---

Approximate Purchase Date: this week or the next.

Budget Range: $1000-1300 (Can wait till next month on a GFX if a something goes to high, I want the best bang for my buck and the GFX is something I want to be good, but can also be put on hold because I have one I can use temporarily.) Also, the processor was $300 so I have roughly $800 left I am looking at to spend on parts

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming

Are you buying a monitor: Not yet

Parts to Upgrade: Full upgrade

Do you need to buy OS: No

Location: Detroit, MI, USA

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, best parts possible.

Overclocking: Maybe(probably)

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080++

Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC, and with something to ensure my CPU is cool, I am open to water cooling though I have never done it. I can wait to purchase a graphics card if need be if I could get better parts, unsure of the difference in cost if I waited to buy a $345 gfx and focused on the rest of the computer parts (mobo, memory, and that sort.) The reason behind that is I still have a graphic card I can use till taxes come back (about a month.) So I can get the computer up and running and get any parts replaced that need to be in case of RMA, by the time I get my video card.

-It's good to note that Microcenter has a deal when purchasing the processor from Microcenter, (I get $20 off the mobo so if I can pick up the mobo at microcenter, that'll be good.

-If it is possible, could I get a couple of variations on different mobos to get, like what one is rated highest? Same with memory, I don't want too have to run into issues down the road.

-I am most likely going to be purchasing a full tower, I figure this is a better idea because of the airflow, won't get as hot in the PC? I'll go with a mid size one if I can fit everything inside it.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: 5 year old computer, using the first gen i7-920. Looking for a similar upgrade.

This is the current setup that I picked out earlier from the forums on some tips and information, here is an edited list. I am hoping to either to get some better parts or what.
