1k Custom Rig for Gaming

[kebabom]

Hi would appreciate recommendations for a gaming rig. Would like to play games like dota2, cod, bf4 on high settings. For gpu would prefer nvidia or ati brands and require wireless adapter. Do not need monitor, keyboard and mouse, just desktop. Don't mind bursting budget for ssd, still considering.. First time getting custom desktop any help is appreciated. Thanks! Budget is 1K!

Ok after reading up more and checking other threads, I've decided to go with the following:
(wrt to mobo+cpu and gpu)
MSI B85M G43 +i5 4570
MSI R9 280x 3gb Twin Frozr

I just need help on completing the rest of my rig for best value and compatibility with the above mobo+CPU and gpu.

Not required: display, mouse, kb, ssd (bought from Amazon).

Required: psu, casing, hdd, odd, os, ram, wireless adapter

Budget: 1.3k (yes increased due to poison from reading up more) your input is greatly appreciated!

Psu not more than 550w will do. Ram just get value rams. No need heatsink or bling bling ones. Wireless adapter depends if u use dual band n router, get dual band. If u use ac, get ac. Hdd up to you how big is enough. Odd just get cheap ones will do. Os is up to your preference u want 7 or 8. Casing also up to your preference u want king kong xl atx or micro atx depends on mobo size

if you can up your budget by a little more get the corsair 350d, cause a good casing goes a long way
