Building a gaming machine $1200 budget

[breh]

First time builder, want to build a computer that can run most games with very high settings on a $1200 budget. I plan on buying everything at the end of the month. I want to play games like Dota 2 and Diablo 3 while running fraps at a decent setting. I'm thinking about not getting an internal HDD and just having a SSD and an External HDD, would this be a good idea to cut costs? I have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136471 . I would put some games and the OS on the ssd I think.

I have a Dell Ultrasharp 24" led monitor, 1920x1200.
Mouse and keyboard is covered.
Going with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit for $100.
So in total I need everything for $1100 any help is appreciated!
Thank you.
