Help choosing motherboard, ram, optical drive

[Nismofan]

I want to build my first gaming rig, I've picked out a few things but I need some help choosing a decent motherboard, ram and optical drive. Current price on what i've picked is $834.94. I'd like to keep the cost close to $1000.


Here is what I have already ( also open to suggestions )

Intel Core i5 750 / Sapphire HD 5870 combo

Cooler Master HAF 932 Case and 750w PSU combo

Optical Drives are easy to find, they cost only 20 dollars.

If you can shell out an extra $10 for the ram.

and you could save money on a case if you were willing to go down to the 922, which is still and excellent pick
