EDIT: Just wanted to add a small explanation.
Unfortunately, it's really not that cost effective to build your own PC right now. At this price range you are going to have to compromise somewhere... I decided to go with a slightly less amazing monitor, instead of compromising on the CPU or GPU, since it will be much easier in a few years (when prices go down on 4K monitors!) for someone to just go buy a new screen rather than to install some new hardware inside their PC. The hardware I chose should last you quite a long time, the motherboard is expandable to 128GB's of RAM, and the case comes with it's own fans.
I also made sure all of my products were from trusted brands with good ratings!
