You could go with an R9 380. Also, Seagate Barracudas are slightly cheaper than WD Blues, so you could save a few bucks there.

That case doesn't seem to have good reviews though, if you want something a bit more compact look at the Elite 130 from coolermaster

 

includes an i7 + 390

Good ideas thanks and done. Now below 1k which was goal.

you also want to avoid the 300 series kingston ssds they are barely faster than a good mechanical drive and since youre doing a mini itx build you may want to get a single 8 gb stick in case you want to add more ram later you wont be sitting on 2 useless 4 gb sticks, also ,might want to spend a bit less on the mobo and put more to your gpu 

 

maybe this
