My budget is preferably around $1000 is my maximum.

first up, use our standard form for new builds

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice

second: you need a ower supply in all that.

for pure gaming, the X6s aren't really that good.. most Games use 2 or 3 cores, so right now, higher clock rate X4s are better. The 955 and the 965 outdo the x6 1055 in most games.

However, if you do tasks that can take greater advantage of multiple cores (video encoding, 3D animation, etc) the 6-core processors shine at this.

You also don't need 8 GB for games, 4GB is fine. Again, what else will you be doing?

Mobo:
Don't use Biostar, just doesnt have very good reviews. Use either the ASUS 880

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131654&cm_re=asus_880-_-13-131-654-_-Product
for non crossfire/sli or

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131646&cm_re=asus_880-_-13-131-646-_-Product
if you are going to.

ASUS 870 is another good one without some features of 880 if you don't need them
Or Gigabyte 880 if you don't overclock
