Advice on pc

Budget (including currency): 1300

Country: usa 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: civ5, planetside 2, cod, any type of games 

Other : I had a pc planned but just about every time I got ready to order parts they sold out but I have the money now I just need a new build plan and i figured I'd ask for help I'm new to this and figured I make sure I do this right this time! I have a gameing laptop but its about 6 years old and I figured I'd invest in a pc I play just about everything so just needs to be able to play not looking to play on max settings! I did buy a case already but I came sell it if you have better ideas it's a NZXT H510 Elite - CA-H510E-B1 - Premium Mid-Tower ATX Case.

Unless you want to go for a 2080 Super which will add another 100-150$ to the budget or get something cheaper than the 2070 and wait for the 3xxx series release this year (probably a better bet)

Case is fine.  Better than mine which is also fine. It can be worked with.  Civ5 and COD basically have opposite needs game wise so going for a

general system.  $1300 is sort of right on the edge between a belled and whistled high refresh 1080p and a lean 1440p. Do you have a preference?
 

UPDATE above list would be lean 1440p

Not really I'm down to go above my price range

If you’re willing to go higher price look to the 1440p stuff then.  1440p needs more monitor and video card to drive it.  1080p is often thought of as 1k while 1440p is thought of as 2k so driving 1080p@60hz takes 1/4th the gpu power of 1440p@120hz.  Monitors capable of the latter cost about 3 times what monitors capable of the former do.
