Building a new rig ~$1000

[goodis0]

Hello,

Looking to build a complete system from the ground up for around $1000. This is my first time building a computer so looking for some help regarding the full system components, thoughts and ideas? If you have time to write a full build thats really helpful, if not whats the best processor out there for ~200-300$?

I do not need a keyboard/moniter/OS included in the 1k price.

Was thinking about getting the i5-3570k i believe it is, only 30$ more?

Get 16GB of ram if your going for a $1000 build It will futureproof it, and its not that expensive, I`m using it on my $700 build, LOL
