$1000 Gaming PC Build

[Rawity]

Looking to build a Gaming Computer for my birthday. My main game is CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) But would like to start playing Battlefield 4 on Ultra Settings

Here's what I've figured out that I want my PC to have.

NVIDIA GTX 970 (Not sure if ASUS, MSI or all the other retailers)

Intel core i5-4690K

240GB SSD (Samsung, Crucial, Don't know the best)

Corsair 600W PSU

8 GB Ram

Already got Windows 8, and the case.

I don't have much experience with motherboards and the other I need (If more)

For the 970, IMO the best brand for it is the MSI's one, but if the Gigabyte one is around the same price pick that up, as it's cooler is badass.

For the motherboard, either pick your favorite brand, or the cheapest non-terrible branded Z97 motherboard.

For the SSD, if there is a 240 GB that is equal or lower than $100, than pick that up. If there is not get the SAMSUNG 850 EVO (unless the EVO is at 105 or lower, if it is pick it up)
