Is this a good gaming rig for the money? Should I switch anything out for something cheaper? My budget is $1000, but preferably lower. I know I didn't include a graphics card but that's because I'm waiting for the new AMD Radeon's. Oh, and this is also my first rig.
Here it is:

If your not overclocking there's no point getting an unlocked CPU. Switch to an i5 -4430.
