^Agreed. Definitely go with intel right now.
You can get windows 10 pro for $26 in some places - http://cheapdigitaldownload.com/windows-10-professional-digital-download-price-comparison/
Also added a way better power supply in my suggested build -

Hey, I know you wanted under $1000, here's $1020, less after rebates. I'd recommend catching a similar monitor on sale for slightly cheaper if you're stuck to $1000. Also, speakers look a tad extraneous, but it's you not me. This Intel build will perform much better for gaming. The DDR4 memory will give a little bit of performance, and will become the standard in the future. If you're looking to cut a bit, you could go for the 6400, but again, I think there's other places you can cut that would not affect the performance of the computer.
