Budget gaming PC build

[Hypernova]

Hey guys, I am planning to build my first gaming PC soon but i don't know what parts i should get. 

They budget i am on is about $900(But i can go a bit over that)

I want to build a future-proof PC that can run current games with the highest possible settings that my budget can buy.

I don't care about brands such as Intel and AMD, all i care about is how well a system preforms

i would also like to know what 24" monitor i should buy.

I would appreciate any help of suggestions with my build.

Where do you live?

What is this going to be used for?

I live in the UK(I said my budget in dollars because the majority of this user base is likely to be American) 

And I plan on using this for games like Titanfall, BF4 and other games that come out over the years.

Alloting $70 for case, not going to choose for you because of personal preference
AMD FX-8320 - $140
ASUS M5A99FX Pro - $145 (swap this if going mATX or mITX)
Some 2x4GB 1600 CL9 DDR3 RAM - $70-80
ASUS R9 280 DirectCU II - $225
1TB HDD - $50
Corsair CX500 - $50
CM 212 Evo - $35
Acer G6 Series G246HLAbd - $140
$935 total, I'm sure it could be under $900 if you look for deals.
All prices are in USD and are from http://www.newegg.com/

Logical Increments is always a good place to start. Plus, if you find out how much a given build will cost where you are, then you can decide which parts to improve or cut back on to match your price point.

Thanks for the build suggestion, but would it not be better to get a AMD FX 8350 8 core processor , or maybe even an Intel core i5 4670k quard core processor instead?

I was also wondering weather or not i should get an Anti-virus software for my build, and if so, what would be a good and cheap one to get?

Just download a free one like AVG.

if it is over budget get a cheaper 970 strix ,cheap case,or cheaper h81 mobo but it will require bios update ,also any 450-500w psu will work just fine  i chose 600w b'coz it was only 5$ more

get ips panel monitor   they look nice
