Hi, my current rig is:

Gtx 960 4gb
fx-8350
8 gb of 1600 mhz RAM
650w psu
970A-D3 mobo
500 gb 7200 rpm hdd

If I sell this pc + my money I would have around 1000$ (which now is a lot because the dollar was raised 50% more in my country, so instead of 1000$ being 500.000 pesos it would be 700.000, so, I will buy them in new egg or amazon, and import them to my country, which has also pretty expensive pc components.

so stick with a 1000$ gaming build obviously aiming to save the most possible, with an intel processor and a killer gpu, (I dont mind spending a lot in the gpu)
thanks

I assume you need an entire set-up. Here is a suggested non-overclocking build. I got you are premium modular PSU and motherboard. You could shift the funds toward a fancier case if you would like. Would you be interested in an overclocking build? I only used Amazon and Newegg per your request.

This is what I came up with, an i5 processor for more power, and a GTX970 to play most games on high.
The build has a lot of upgrade potential, the best being SLI and others being the CPU and 2 more sticks of RAM.

Here is an overclocking build, slightly over budget, still using only Amazon and Newegg for parts:

Cheaper SSD allowed for certain upgrades, Also you only need a 550w psu for a gtx 970. If you want a case with a see through window id spend the extra $40 and get the windowed model of this case, its really good.
