Why do you think you need a 1000 watt PSU? 500W will be plenty. Do not buy cheap power supplies.

Corsair, Antec, Seasonic and a few others offer quality power supplies.

Here is a very nice modular PSU at a better price:

A quality PSU is the most important choice you can make in a new build. The one I listed will cover everything, but there is nothing wrong with leaving a bit more margin:
