Can do with Haswell non oc. OC rig you still got to pay more for an extra cooler. Not worth it. Get the SSD for a much better response of OS and also better load time in games.

MSI B85M G43 + i5-4430 ~ $340
Kingston Value Ram 8gb ~ $81
WD Blue 1tb ~ $81
Plextor m5s 128gb ~ $139
Powercolor 7850 2gb ~ $233
Cooler Master 311 + FSP Hexa 500W ~ $105
Samsung ODD ~ $21

Total $1k Buy at tradepac and DIY

Get the 7850. It is on par with a gtx660. Both trade blows and 7850 is slightly more cheaper.

I'll get a ssd in the near future, but now wanna focus on the key parts first, what can I invest in if I took out the ssd from your advice? Another 139 in a better mobo?

I rather u get a SSD than spend on getting a better mobo that you won't be using it to it's full potential.

A better mobo wun let u win more games or have better fps... a ssd will allow u to boot windows faster, and maybe load games faster...

Yeap I rather you get an ssd more than a good mobo.

Looked around and asked some people, common questions is will the cpu/mobo be running on bottleneck?

Nope. It will not.
