Help with build... Have started, need suggestions

I am looking to build a new desktop since my current one is running a build from years ago. I am hoping to stay under $1000. I play mainly World of Warcraft, Borderlands 2, Sims 3, and other games like it. I also record and render videos. I am looking to build a system that I can upgrade later, so my main concern is if these components are good enough to be up-gradable for a few years. Please help me with any suggestions. I know a little about computers but not too much about building them, which is why I want to order from here instead of building my own.

    Hello there!
     
     
    I have only two recommendations to make sure you're set to upgrade this system without any issues.
     
    1. Upgrade to a gold-rated power supply, at least 750w.
    2. Switch to a more reputable motherboard, preferably by ASUS, based on their track record. 
     
    Feel free to follow up with any questions. 
     
     
    Kind Regards,
