We need a lot more info. Is it 1000 USD just for the parts listed or do you need a monitor, mouse, keyboard, OS, ect?

1000 USD, Already have Keyboard and mouse, already set on getting monitor and headset

That's like a sub $700 build. Add a 250GB SSD, 16GB ram and get a better PSU.

I agree with @antisleep, if your budget of $1000 is just for the tower, throw some more stuff on there. I second his recommendation of an SSD. Probably the biggest bang for your buck. As well as doubling the ram and adding a nicer CPU. Good luck with the build and keep us updated!
