Alright I have done a ton of research online and I want an EXPERT opinion on a new pc build. I plan on adding a new cooling system and overclocking at least the CPU.

Tell what you would do with a gaming pc with 1,000-1,500 dollars if all you needed was the CPU, GPU, memory, motherboard, HDD (kinda want to try out at least one SSD).

I have no brand loyalty so if you are just going to post something that says something like "I've always used intel/amd/etc. and its always been dependable" I will probably stop reading I would really like to see someone actually KNOW the specific product and most of all that they work well together. It would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to seeing some builds. Thanks guys.
