Hi guys , i have an old configuration and i want to upgrade most of my PC but i will keep only my GTX 580 SLI for the time so what spec do you suggest me?

For 1000$ you can get so much more than you listed...
Here's what i built for you.
It's below 1000 dolars and is really really good.It's based on the LGA 2011 platform which is much more future proof than the LGA 1155.
It's pretty much awesome.

Or if you can stretch your budget a bit you can also fit a Core i7 3930K in there.To do that however you'll need to downgrade the power supply a bit.
