Here's my build:

CPU: i5-3570K 3.4GHz LGA 1155 Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 HDMI
GPU: ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce 760 2GB 256-bit
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 8GB
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Will there be any bottlenecking?
Is there any parts the I should use instead?
My budget is about $1000.

Thank you!

The build would wok just fine, but you can build a much better build for 1000 dollars. Just have a look at the build below. It is well within your budget but is much better performing build that the one you selected.

+ OCZ 750W PSU is of damn high quality, much better than CX 600.
+ 4670K has a better Single and Multi Threaded performance than the 3570k
+ Corsair 300R is a much better case with excellent performance for the price.
+ 7970 is way much better than the 760 and can be overclocked to match the performance of the 7970 Ghz Edition.
+ That Asus board is a beast for overclocking, and has all the advanced features you would need.

I hope this helps. This build is planned assuming that you live in USA and need an OS. Otherwise changes would always be made to improve it.
