Also don't get the Kingston v300. When that article was written it may have been good but not anymore.
In Nov/Dec 2013 after there were good reviews/benchmarks for the drive Kingston pulled a bait-and-switch and started using async ram chips that in real world performance get 1/3 the speed.


For a 1k build you should be able to get a i5 4460 + h97 board which will give you better performance.
