I am building a new gaming computer for ~$1000, having no previous experience. Before I started, I barely knew the difference between a GPU and a CPU, but since I had friends who knew lots about computers and their parts, I asked them, and gradually I learned more and more, but keep in mind when answering I am nowhere near being an expert. I am looking for the best 'bang for the buck', although that's a given, and would probably buy the build by beginning of July. I just got a job though, so the longer I wait, the more I can pay for specific parts.
I will mostly use this computer for RTS games and some games like Battlefield 4, Payday 2, and anything else that catches my fancy, so I would like something that's good in all areas.
Here is the link to the build I have so far, but what would you change?

I also already have another, decent monitor, but would like to be going on two.
Thank you!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong thread or something like that, first time on this site.

I was thinking of purchasing the MSI 280x, but upon looking up reviews it seems at least half of them have pretty big fan problems. You may want to look into it, maybe MSI has recently fixed the problem?I saw that, but I thought that although half of the reviews say it doesn't work, doesn't mean half of the cards don't work, because people tend to comment more when things don't work than when they do. I have also started buying my pc, here is the new part list. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/z6bMTW
