Good build preparing for Pascal?

In preparation for pascal, this is what I want. Cheapest way to get 4 cores and 8 threads for enough money where I can get the 970 Pascal equivalent and stay under $1000USD. I'm keeping my HyperX DDR3 Blue RAM from my past build. Until Pascal / Polaris are released, I'll be using my GTX 750Ti. My computer budget is $1000 or less, not including monitor. I'm keeping my speakers, keyboard, and mouse from my past build. With a 1070 or whatever it's called, I'm assuming it'll be less than $380-370 USD, and keep my overall budget under $1000.

 

i went with the Carbide 400C because it's smaller than the 230T I currently have, has a nice huge side window for when I get a Hue+, and comes in at under a $100USD by itself. Please give any thoughts on parts for me  except CPU, I don't really need to push into CPU overclocking yet, but I definitely will do some GPU OC'ing. 4 cores 8 threads is all I need for video recording and the like. As well, I'll probably get w PCIE wireless card.

Pricey mobo, and over the top CPU cooler. 

 

Personally I'd drop the cooler and swap the SSD to a 250GB 50 EVO, or go for a cheaper mobo like ASRock's H97 Anniversary.

Doing some PC part picker action noiw, may take about 20 minutes

He wants it to be $1000 INCLUDING the Pascal GPU, which we assume the price point for.

There you go:

Never used ASRock, is their quality good? Features? Have heard both good and bad about them.

 

What kinda CPU cooler? Stock? I want to at least pick up an aftermarket one  for comfy temps

That's a good build for stuff like gaming only, but I'm looking for 4 cores 8 threads, since I'm doing more workstation-y stuff as well as multitasking for things like recording games, streaming, etc. I'm also somewhat of a novice when it comes to CPU overclocking, and would rather have the reliability of an air cooler so this system can last a little longer. Haven't dealt a lot with liquid cooling, but have done a little. The Xeon is good for my needs  and it's the price of an i5.

I mean, that stock cooler is DESIGNED for that CPU, and it is locked, so....

 

as for ASRock, I have found nothing wrong with them.

I guess part of me just wants something that looks nicer than stock  and considering an H7, 212X, or even a Pure Rock are like <$35, I don't see why not
