Need help with a ~$1000 mitx build

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • I'll mostly be using this pc for gaming and light school work (programming). For games, I will mostly be playing League of Legends, Overwatch, and some other AAA games (mostly just want to run LoL at fairly high settings).

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • ~1000 (can go higher if needed, but would be nice to keep it as low as possible)

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • In a week or so.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Maybe a monitor (this price can be excluded from the pc budget). I have everything else.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • New Jersey. I have a microcenter near by.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • Maybe a little bit of both, it doesn't have to be a priority.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • A nice SSD will suffice, I'll add a HDD later on myself

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • I would like to use this case and maybe have a red/black color scheme throughout the build.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • No.

Extra info or particulars:

  • Liquid cooling would be nice, but it is not a necessity. I am not sure if I should wait for the the line of AMD cards that will be releasing soon. Maybe I can get an older and cheaper card and replace it with the new AMD cards? (This is also not a priority)
