With a 1k budget you can do an i5, 380, SAMSUNG not kingston SSD, a Supernova (PSU) and no need for extra fans and fan controller :U 

Gotta eat I'll redo the best build you can do in a sec 

[manikyath]

yes, its a build, but what is it for? that is the pressing question here.

[MrLigugu]

Cut down on PSU, pirate Windows and get Intel would be what I'd do... Great GPU - I have that exact one

Or you can switch out the gtx 970 for an amd r9 290x/390

Why Windows 7 pro? You can get home premium for $40 less on newegg, even cheaper if you buy elsewhere

Get windows from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap

[R3DOPS]

Go intel.. AMD at the moment is well not doing well. Why do you need windows Professional? just get windows home. get a gtx 970 and a intel i5. 

[asiancorruption]

you can save money by getting a 500w psu and by getting a windows key off g2a for like $25 bucks. i would get a better amd cpu like an 8350. 6300s are comparable to i3s

Get windows of g2a. You don't need more case fans, Atleast yet. I'll explain each part or why I chose certain parts if you want.

Even fx8s are comparable to i3s in cases for gaming. The fx6 or fx8 would also hold back the gtx 970 or 390. Not to mention to overclock the sucker you will need s high end CPU cooler and mobo.

[PCPartPickerPro9171787]

Well I don't plan on overclocking any components. Longevity is on of the goals of my build.
