first time pc build

[link15]

Im looking to build a pc that can handle just about all games. Im looking to spend $1,000 or a little more if i have to. I want to be able to run games like planets side. I was thinking about for video cards 650 Ti Boost, or 660 series geforce cards and if i have to run sli thats not a problem cuz i can pick another card a lil later if i dont have the money right away. So any one who can help me with a build would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Also if you could give me a run down on all the parts need to build a good rig. also feel free to make your own suggestions as long as it aint a lot over 1000 dollars and can be over just not up too 1500. thank you again and sorry for your time.

set your sights higher then a 660... at 1k you'll want to buy a top of the line gpu... not some midranged card.

something like this would be a good starting point.
