With a $1000 you can build one hell of a machine.
$600 on CPU/GPU
$120 on MOBO
$80 on Ram
$80 on Case
$70 on HDD
$20 on CD drive

But if I were you I'd maybe get a cheaper CPU or GPU and spend $120 on a 250GB SSD.

Or spend less on a GPU and get something like the GTX 960 that just came out and spend extra on the MOBO.  Then in a year or two you can get another GTX 960 and run in SLI.
