I'm looking at building a PC that will be powerful enough to play next gen games on ultra settings for several years. I would like to keep my budget as close to $1000 as possible. I have put a list together but would like your advice. With this in mind, are there any parts here that could be swapped to save of total cost (Price vs. Performance)? If not are there any compatibility issues that I haven't foreseen? Thanks for your help!

Okay these are my thoughts, You can find a cheaper motherboard that works just the same (sorry dont have any that come to mind) I personally use the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming mobo which is great. I would also suggest lowering your SSD to like 120gb like the Samsung 840 evo which is a lot cheaper and then get a Hard drive 1tb or whatever you want. Then you can find a case that is a little cheaper and maybe even work more efficiently I recommend the Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case, It has Great cooling capabilities. Most Pc can run games on ultra, the real question is how well. With a little bit of money I might have just saved you can think about getting a Gtx 770 video card to up your performance on next gen Games getting around 60 fps or higher on ultra. Hope this Helped :)
