Help building my first gaming rig

The PC vs Console thread really got me going (although, I've been wanting to do this for some time) I want to build a nice gaming rig that I can use to play some PC exclusives on as well as not having to worry about it being slow as hell compared to my POS laptop.

What I want -

1. Must be able to run graphics at med/high settings. (770 card?)
2. I'd like to have good storage for movies/music (I don't know the advantages/differences of an SSD/HDD.
3. I'd like to have an HDMI port so I can move it into my living room on the big screen.
4. I do need a monitor. Undecided whether or not I want to run a dual/tri monitor setup yet.
5. I still burn CD's and Dvds. Will need a drive that supports both.
6. 8 GB of Ram at least with options to upgrade to 16gb in the future.

To sum It up I want a Rig that can do it all with little to no issues speed wise. I have a budget of around $1000, which is pretty flexible.

I also like pretty things. So I'm not afraid to spend a little more on a nicer case. Am a big fan of the Cooler Master Stryker case, I love the cases with the windows in the side with LEDS.

If anybody would like to help me I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to be apart of the PC master race.



EDIT:

This is build I am going with, unless I find good deals on better components.

They are perfectly fine.

However they are the exact same PSU's as several others out there like the Seasonic, XFX, Antecs, PC Power & Cooling, etc..

See if it's a Seasonic rebranded PSU and get the one thats on sale.

Microcenter has some unbelievable deals going on I7 & Motherboard bundles.

The 4770K deal is unreal.

Unfortunately, I live 350 miles from the nearest store.

350 Miles can't keep a man from his machines.

I drove to KC from Des Moines to take advantage. I did other things too while I was down there, but microcenter was a major factor in making the trip.

It's hard for me to picture a computer hardware store. It would probably have an affect on me similar to a strip joint.
