$1,000 build. Help me out! :D

[Micknasty]

Budget - $1,000
Resolution - 1980x1080
Games / Settings Desired - Chivalry, Planetside 2, Battlefield 4 on Max/Ultra.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) An SSD would be cool, but I don't know how much I want to spend on one. If you can include it in the $1,000 and still meet all the other stuff, go for it!
Country - US.
Parts that can be reused - None
Do you need an OS? Windows 7
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? Don't need any of these. I just want the computer to be able to use dual monitors if I decide to go that route.

this would be the best u can do with 1k budget. it will max out everything u throw at it on 1080p. there really wasnt room for a ssd, but it is pretty easy to add that later on. not sure why u want windows 7, as 8 is much better performing, but here u go:

How much better would Windows 8 be?

[chazus]

It's the same price, and marginally better, so there's really no reason not to.
