So I recently posted about a gaming rig for about $1500 I'm gonna get that one but my friend also wants one and wants to spend 1000 on his.. Now like I said before I'm bad with computers so please let me know if this is the best way to spend a 1000 on a gaming rig.

Check Newegg. There prices are almost always better and their customer service is great in case of faulty parts. I'd shop with them, even if a few parts are a tad more. Just to be safe should you experience issues with your products.

Build looks good. However for HDD I'd advise a Seagate Barrucuda, Samsung F3, or a WD blue. The blacks are supposed to be faster but it won't be all that noticeable since the Blue's are same RPM. Also it says that the one you picked is unavailable.

The Caviar Black drives have a higher cache buffer, meaning that data transfer is theoretically quicker. I'd stick with the Black drive if you can, otherwise the Seagate Barracudas are good. Get a drive which spins at 7200 RPM and has a 32MB or a 64MB cache buffer.
 
The GTX 670 is around $60 less and performs only 5-7% worse than a GTX 680 AT STOCK. Since the 7970 is beaten by the GTX 680, the GTX 670 is a better choice.

When I was doing my build I was informed by several people, namely Stranglehold, that it didn't make a whole lot of difference but if he's got the budget sure. Still would advise a Seagate Barracuda or Samsung F3 though.

I doesn't make a whole lot of difference if you're just going to be running your OS/programs off the drive, but you want the biggest cache buffer possible if you're going to copying a lot of files. The F3 and Barracudas are good drives, but I like the Caviar Black myself. :)
