If that's a requirement an SSD is out of the question for now. Sure you COULD buy one, but you'd have to spend hours balancing the performance of the CPU, GPU, RAM, and all else in order to find the right parts for the money.

First...your build is missing a few things. You don't have a DVD drive, copy of Windows 7, or shipping costs in it. You're realistically looking at around $1250 when you factor that in.

Second...the mainboard you choose is not a good one. Go with a Z77 based chipset. MSI has a Z77 based board that supports SLi/Crossfire for $115. It's getting good reviews.

Third...Under $1000 is a very tough build for a gaming computer. You're going to have make a lot of cuts and not small ones at that. It CAN be done but it's not easy.

Here are my suggestions to get it to about $1100 (at New Egg) give or take a few:

Same NZXT case (since you like it).
Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-750 750W PSU (Surprisingly well built).
Lite-On DVD Drive
Windows 7 HP 64bit OEM
Asus HD7870-DC2-2GD5 Video Card
Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB Hard Drive
Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G 120GB SSD
8GB (As 2x4) Corsair Vengence Ram (Cas 9)
MSI Z77A-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Mainboard.
Intel Core i5-3570K CPU
Hyper 212 CPU Cooler.

The main differences between my build and yours is that you can overclock the CPU, you have twice the SSD space, a legit copy of Windows, and a much better chipset on the mainboard. You loose hyperthreading on the CPU, but you probably won't notice. If you swap your case for a less expesnive one, you can be right on the border of $1000.

If you have the extra $125 to dump back into it, then bump your GPU up for gaming, or your CPU to the Intel Core i7-3770K for other work. Taking the RAM to 16GB as 2x8 module won't give you a big boost (if any at all) of gaming performance, but does give some future growth room.

Pick the MB carefully in any project,But get a psu that will work with any and all upgrades that you can think of down the road.

Windows OEM can be tied to your mainboard. Definately choose wisely. My BIGGEST regret was skimping on mainboards in the past. One ECS almost burned down my house.
