this features a GTX770 that will last you well into next generations games at High Settings or even Maxed out in some games. I went a bit higher over the $1000 budget, precisely $61 after rebate and $86 before MIR. You can swap the GTX770 for the GTX760 and it will still be wonders. If you do decide to swap for a cheaper card, you might want to invest in either a better case or an SSD.

Would that Mobo be capable of overclocking, I just want to have the option of doing so.

Yes, if you like, swap the MOBO with the Asrock Extreme 4 or 6. The Gigabyte Z87 versions are pretty solid too. Most MOBO around ~$150 are capable of overclocking. BTW, I made a slight mistake, the Zalman Z9 does not have USB 3.0, if you prefer USB 3.0, swap it with another case. My mistake, it was pointed out in another thread.
