I would wait for pascal and polaris and see what they have to offer, now's not a great time to invest in a new pc. But here's an Austin Evan $1000 build with a Skylake i5-6500 and r9 390 that could maybe help inspire you.

We can help, but we would suggest waiting to buy a GPU as the new Nvidia releases seem absolutely killer.

 

That said, here's a build with a GTX 970 that should be substituted for a 1070.

If you added a 1070 you'd be over budget. by ~$80
