For a $1000 PC build you should be going for a GTX 770. Forego the small SSD; with 64GB limit and the amount of space the OS you will only be able to store one full sized game at a time. Also drop the DVD drive - unless you can think of consistent situations in which you will absolutely need it right now the DVD drive is a vestigial component.
Here is a build I created:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus GRYPHON Z87 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($161.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($69.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($63.98 @ Outlet PC)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card ($399.99 @ NCIX US)
Case: Cougar Spike MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($34.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 650W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $1020.91

Went with the K series because it's just $5 more than the locked series, which is a minuscule portion of the overall budget. I chose an mATX purely because I like smaller rigs. You can change it out for an equivalent quality Gigabyte or Asus ATX board at a similar price. The Cougar case I chose is a great case for the price. Decent build quality and good airflow. It only takes in mATX and ITX boards though, so if you choose to go with an ATX board you will need to change the case as well. Lastly, if you get this build right now the PSU I chose is on a steep sale and is a steal at that price.
Now, for upgrade paths later on. I ditched the SSD in the build because there is no room for it in the budget. Anything under 128GB isn't worth it IMO. Constantly using something like SteamTool to constantly switch your games between the SSD and HDD isn't worth the slightly faster load times. Wait until you have the spare cash to get a bigger sized SSD and then reformat your computer to make the SSD as your primary drive.
