Hi,I think I can help you out here sir.

 

I think an AMD Build for your Budget would be the best.The FX 6300 is much better than the Athlon X4 860K.

 

CPU- AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor 
Motherboard -  ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS. (Overclocking Motherboard)

RAM - Kingston HyperX DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (KHX1600C10D3B1/8G) 
GPU - Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R7 260X 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card
SSD - Samsung SSD 840 EVO (Try to get a Used SSD 830 too)

PSU - Corsair SMPS CX500 500 Watts PSU 
Case - Cooler Master K380 Mid Tower Cabinet 

CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212X Air Cooling 

OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Serice Pack-1

 

Please make sure you Overclock your CPU upto 4.5 Ghz on the Hyper 212X.If you did,You are going to see a noticeable perfomance boost and also you are defenitly going to beat the Intel i5 4690 and The Intel i5 2500K.Thank you

Is an optical drive and wireless adapter absolutely necessary? If not, you could do a lot better with your budget.

The wireless adapter is necessary but the optical drive isn't important.

if its over budget u can put r9 280  ,if u remove that windows 8.1 u might fit in gtx 970

but don't put ssd if it means to put in lower gpu 

ssd will just lower load speed but cheap gpu lowers frame rates
