Along with this I would suggest this Barebones Case currently on sale. It includes the case, motherboard, PSU and optical drive. It already has great onboard audio, wireless and bluetooth. This review can give you a better idea of the case.
For a GPU I would use this. A refurb GPU with a two year warranty. Be sure to use code "SPRING20" for $20 off.
End cost is $672.91 if you end up buying a windows OS retail. You can get them cheaper or go with a different, free OS. This would save $90 off the end price.
