For a $1k budget you can take your gaming a bit higher settings/levels in 1080p me thinks

The mobo should be fine like I said before i ordered one for a friend cause of the price/z77 chipset and it has good reviews. You really don't need 16gb of ram but oh well. I always like to put 500W + psu's in machines my self. You really could just get the cheaper i3. Yes that 120gb ssd is awesome and priced well I also have one and ordered one for my friends birthday.
That build by trog above is also really nice for $1000 if your worried about performance like it seems you are.
