Ok this is the build that I have made. I already have everything like monitor, keyboard etc.
I am looking for the best bang for my money. I will be playing games like BF3/BF4, Metro 2033, Star Craft 2, Crysis 3. I will be overclocking and will probably get a second graphics card at some point. Some things that I will require are a modular power supply, probably a quiet case like the Fractal Design R4 and Windows 7. Budget is $1000 and will be getting the parts in a few weeks.

Looks good although for the best bang for buck I'd look at this card http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-111992020g
7870 > 1280 shaders, Pitcairn based GPU
7870XT > 1536 shaders, Tahiti based GPU.
I have changed the build slitly and it does come out a $100 more but I think that it is worth it.

Hope you like this build! EnJoY :)
I'd stay away from AsRock's 970 Extreme 4. Several people said that (and Extreme 3) are not great boards for overclocking.
