Personally, I would look for at least a 80+ bronze PSU.
And if you ever intend on adding a 2nd card down the line I would get at least a 750 or even 850 PSU. No point in trying to save $30 now and then spend $100 extra later. |

I think that the GPU is going to last me quite a while without adding another one. I've gone realistically about $200 over budget already so I think I'm set here for a while. I did like the idea to add the SSD now instead of later though. I'll be looking for some of these parts on BF or Cyber monday

SSD is a luxury item. It's your money and computer but I'd drop the SSD and get it later, reduce the ram because because 16GB is pretty overkill for gaming, especially when you are only buying 2 sticks with an option to upgrade to 32GB (which will never be needed for the life of this computer for gaming), and take the money saved to get a better PSU. |

Gotcha. I'll take all of that into consideration. I have about another month before I'm able to do this, so lots of tweaking and changes can happen between now and then.

A $1K budget with Black Friday and Cyber Monday looming. You can get whatever you want. Don't listen to these people.
Actually dude you want waaay too much. Get a cheaper GPU, a 3rd gen i7 would be less than a 4th gen i5. You really need to think cheaper and upgrade later. You can get an HD Radeon 7770 for $100 which is fine. 16 GB is way too much. 8 is adequate. You're aiming too high. Leave yourself room in the budget. |

Why in the world are 4th gen all in ones more if the processors themselves cost less than the 3rd gen? |

I am gathering that an I5 is better than the TOTL AMD chips.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html AMD has really shit their pants since the Phenom era. As a rule, I never suggest using a stock cooler unless someone is trying to do the absolute cheapest build. But yeah, the wattage that the newer AMD chips need is just ridiculous. |

120 or 240 gig SSD main OS drive with a large platter strorage drive is the way to go for speed/storage/cost imo
make sure you get a good big case so that you can just keep replacing/upgrading etc into the future.
