Yeah 1000 is more than enough (pre-tax)
Core i5 processor - $185
Socket 1150 mobo - <$100
Case - <$100
550W PSU - $60
16 GB (8GB x 2 sticks) DDR 3 memory - $70
GTX 1070 - $450
That comes out to just under 1000 dollars, but pre-tax and pre-shipping. You can easily reduce costs by going with an AMD video card and processor, but if this is the only build you are going to be doing for a while, you might as well go all-in.
Out of curiosity, what is your current setup like? It might be that all you need to do is drop in a new video card, and you don't need an entirely new build.
You might want to add an optical drive and an operating system to that
