New build for work under 1k - opinions welcome!

Hello,
I just realized I need a new machine for work.
It would be a PC that requires multiple programs running (e.g., office, to imageJ, to LabVIEW, and stats programs).
I am trying to keep it under $1K USD.

No OC needed.

Several restrictions -

I would like to setup RAID 1 for the data drives - so perhaps 1SSD system drive (80GB for all the software we use) plus 2 HD data drives?

I would like to maximize quality as machine performance and reliability are paramount.
(have had bad experience with Seagate HDs for example, would like to avoid those if possible)

Video card - small amounts of GPU memory are required, (at least 512MB), for image analysis and GUI design for LabVIEW
The Case - I am finding Lian-Li 7FN to be a fantastic case - silent, light, simple, yet very user friendly and high quality, so I would like to keep it in the list if possible.

Perhaps a different MoBo, CPU or PSU? (I went with a modular PSU, which is more expensive).

No OS or programs needed - University takes care of that.
