New Build. Need Help.

I want to build a PC and my budget is $1000 US. I'm only going to use it for gaming and maybe light multi monitor use.( Meaning one monitor is playing a game and the other is watching a live stream or YouTube stuff, if that's possible. That itself might need a another post) The gaming is going to be hopefully able to run new games at max settings at very good FPS. (Hopefully) Right now I only have one monitor and it's at 1080p. But I do plan to get a nice 1440p one when they become better (G-SYNC and higher Hz rate) Peripherals are outside of the budget and I do need a copy of Windows. I have a preference of NVIDIA over AMD, but it's not the end of the world if I get an AMD GPU. As for cases and color scheme, I think that the Corsair 760T Graphite looks sexy and I'd like to have a green/white/black build if possible. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.

Hello. G-Sync will be very expensive and it won't be worth it. 760T is expensive and I don't recommend it at all for this budget. What size should it be?

Are you open for mATX?

Yep. As long as it works. I don't really need any special features and I probably won't overclock either.

I know this might seem crazy, but I don't need or want a 2 TB hard drive. I'd  like to have a 240/500 GB SSD instead of a hard drive.

gsync will be the most worth it purchase people will get because it makes all fpses playable. 30-45 = smooth with fps = 1000 x a single graphics card's 2 fps improvement.

That's a really expensive case, plus check out the g2a deal on windows 8.1, that'll save you some extra cash
