Answer
get an intel i7 processor on 1366 socket. Just do it, they are the best in your price range, the best period actually. then just fill in with the best deals on other stuff you can find. Don't skimp on the motherboard or the power supply though all the motherboards for the 1366 i7 are pretty much high end. these are also triple channel ddr3 ram boards so you need to get a triple channel kit. just 3gb for now would be fine. can always upgrade later. heres a good setup with some mail in rebates to lower the cost even more $891 before the rebates ($65 in mail-in rebates) and shipping. if you hurry on this, these deals will still be in affect. could upgrade the video card if you wanted but this one is a good value. there are better though and you may want to use a little of your extra to upgrade that component. The other thing ill mention, 3gb of ram is a little low, but it won't really hurt you for now and you can upgrade that later, ddr3 prices shouldn't raise for a while and may even drop a little more. adding 3 more gigs in a year or so should really fill this system out and you won't miss that extra for now anyway.

sapphire Radeon 5770, could get a better card if you wanted since we are under budget but this is a good value/performance card.

antec 300 case which i have seen and used, fantastic case for the money along with a antec 750w power supply.

*edit*
ya, 5770 is a little weak, so go with this if you want power get this and take out the case/psu combo and the dvdburner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.470432
then get this case/dvdburner combo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.458438
and remove the cpu/motherboard combo for this one which is sli and crossfire capable
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.466114
still under $1000 with the rebates included (just be diligent and do them, its a little bit of a pain, but just a tedious half hour of work then in a month or 2, you get the checks) and the GTX470 is faster than than the 5850. And i have never heard of more dimms making extra work for a memory controller, thats nonsense in a practical sense.

How much FPS would I have when I play games + record with these specs?
Andrew_
I want to be able to play MAX settings and record games like Minecraft, Battlefield 3, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, and upcoming games like Watchdogs and Battlefield 4. And after that I want to be able to edit my recordings with no lag with programs like Sony Vegas Pro. I don't overclock, and I clearly have no experience doing it. I need beast specs under $1000
Chosen Specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1kgsf
If these specs do not match the criteria please edit the specs there on that page, or tell me here.
Thanks!
Answer
It is a good gaming setup, but I'm sensing it is not quite right for you at the price point.
i5-4670 - 5% stronger than i5-3570. Great for gaming, but the motherboard is not SLI/CF for future upgrade, and it is $288 for MB+CPU. i7's costs too much. Asrock SLI MB Z87 Extreme3 $112 adds a lot. You should have an SSD, can use a cheaper computer case, and a better CPU cooler anyway, and for the price point, should be higher than an HD 7850, and the power supply is fairly low quality.
Small tweaks:
$910: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1kRgs
Better MB, SSD add, GPU upgrade by 20%
http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=1252&gid2=1204&compare=geforce-gtx-660-evga-superclocked-edition-vs-radeon-hd-7850-xfx-core-edition
PSU upgrade, change of computer case to get cheaper, but still good case.
AMD build with an easy overclock since this FX-8320 is an underclocked FX-8350, and it can be pushed a bit higher. You only move up the clock if it improves your fps.
$868 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1kRqM
with FX-8320 should do better than the i5 in recording and then editing the gaming footage and not impact your gaming at all at these levels. Able to overclock to FX-8350 or higher. Added the better CPU cooler. This is only $40 over your original price point and is a massive improvement.
Both of the lists I show can take a second GPU in cf/sli with no other changes. Cannot say which is better, but the AMD one is cheaper by $40. Recording gaming pulls down the frames per second, and I think the 8320 and possible OC at little risk if not going too high should help maintain the fps.
I target 55 frames per second on ultra in BF3 without recording, and smaller drop in the AMD in recording than the Intel. Maybe 45 in Intel and 50 in AMD. Your other games are nothing compared to BF3.
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/783
The GTX 660 superclocked chosen is better than the reference at Anandtech. 55fps ultra should not be difficult to achieve.
All much better choices than your PSU:
$30 Corsair CX500, $38 Corsair CX600, $44-13 CM Master RS700-ACAAB1-US, $46 XFX P1-550S-XXB9, $49 LEPA B650-SA, $50 XFX P1-650X-XXB9, $55 Corsair CX600M, $50 Cooler Master RS750-ACAAE3-US, $50 Cooler Master RS750-ACAAD3-US
Look close at the possible combo deals from Newegg on CPU, PSU, GPU. There were a lot of them.
