http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jdmiertschin/saved/cXVypg I just compiled up all the parts I want to build my first pc, but I want yalls opinion on the components. I will be replacing some parts such as the motherboard, power supply, and possibly adding a SSD and or anything else that should be upgraded later in the summer. My budget is $1000 for now.

Note: I want to be sure this build can handle Arma 3, Arma 2's DayZ Mod, Battlefield, and some future games. I'm not looking to get killer FPS or play on ultra, I just want to have a well rounded system.

This is personally what I would take, this matches the 4690K quite well and allows for a better monitor and WIFI card than previously mentioned!
