    NVIDIA: 970 or better
    AMD: 380 or better
     
    CPU wise, just get like a Skylake i5-6600k or i7-6700k if you are over clocking, and if not, a 6700 or 6500 is good. If you want a cheaper solution, the i5-4690k Devil's Canyon is always good. 
     
    RAM, just get at least 8GB DDR4 for Skylake and DDR3 for anything less.

    probably a 390, 970, or used 290x
    myself, I have a 290x and I max out every game at >60fps

    Are you interested in waiting for Pascal/Polaris GPUs? You could get a budget GPU now, and get a more capable GPU for resolutions higher than 1080p later on

    What's your budget? Are you in need of whole system including case and windows?

    You can allocate some of your current budget, the cards will be out this year. I believe in creating an upgrade path rather than getting the most performance now. You can build a system that will last for years with only the need to update the GPU in the coming year(s). Anyway, I'm creating a build, stay tuned for it.

    Here's the build I think you should go with. The PSU might not be the best choice, but you'll want a modular one with the case I chose. The case is the sexy Raijintek Styx, it's small, aluminum and really cheap for what you get. My reason for the cheapo GPU is to upgrade it in the future, the rest of the the components will last you FOREVER basically. You can add more RAM, but you really don't need to. If you only want to play games, with nothing else running the background, you can drop down to 8gb to save money. The SSD is large enough to hold several games, so you could even drop the HDD. 
     
    The 950 will perform decently at 1080p. You could drop down 720 and run ultra on most games at 30FPS rock solid. I think a rock solid FPS is better than a higher, variable refresh rate IMO. 
     
    I don't think there's many people here who would agree with my GPU choice, but if you're upgrading this year, it's not worth spending a lot. Plus if you have an old PC to drop the 950 into, double bonus! 
     
    EDIT: You can also get windows from places like G2A or Reddit for much cheaper than $80. That can cut some cost for you.

    Sorry for the double post, but here's a build very similar to what I run, the CPU and GPU and RAM are what I have.

    This build has the same upgrade path, but just not a skylake or DDR4 or SSD
