So this is my first time building a PC, my budget is somewhere between $600-$700. 

So far I have bought the following parts 

Intel Pentium Processor G3258 4 Corsair Builder Series CX 430

 

I need to still a purchase a IPS display, 750ti, 8gb of ram, a case, 1tb hard drive. ssd boot drive, and a overclockable motherboard

I have general idea of what to buy but don't really know specific parts or good brands. 

Any help with recommendations would help a lot

1. For future reference, PCPartPicker is always helpful :P

 

What the guy above me said is pretty good suggestions :P

 

For the display, what response time do you want?. I'll leave about 70$ in budget for a a chassis, because that's personal and you shouldn't have someone else pick that for you.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

response time is not really a priority. anything under 10ms and minimal bezels. and I'm looking for something minimal, with good cable management options and good open side window
