We need to know where you are and if the monitor is included in the $2500...

 

Also using PCPP might help more...

Point #1. Future proof/ing does not exist.

Point #2. What will you use the PC for?

[Zackslay3r]

Your component choices are good, now it is a matter of cutting cost while preserving/improving performance.

Don't be afraid of ordering parts.  You are likely to save some good money that can be put towards better parts, or saved.

[Zackslay3r]

Point #1. Future proof/ing does not exist.

Point #2. What will you use the PC for?

1. I just want to make sure my pc lasts a decent amount of time. 

 

2. Gaming, but i want to be able to do a bit of everything.

Don't be afraid of ordering parts.  You are likely to save some good money that can be put towards better parts, or saved.

Still, my parents wont allow me to purchase online.

[stconquest]

Okay, then.  My budgeted build leaves $200 to spare... so you should be fine comparing those parts.
