Looking for a budget build

[ShimaKaze]

I'm looking for a budget build(preferably under $1300) that can run most mainstream games on high+ quality at 80+ FPS without getting too hot. Games like TF2, CS:GO, Diablo 3, League of Legends, Witcher 3, Minecraft, DOTA 2. The monitors should be able to display pretty much anything (3D graphics, new gen console graphics) at a high quality. Also looking to see that the build can run graphic design and 3D modeling programs at a comfortable pace. Thanks!

What monitors would you recommend that can last for the next 4-5 years and have high quality.

If you're willing to live with a TN panel you can actually get a 4k monitor at that price and be able to run those games reasonably well at 4k.

 

i5 4460 + 390 with a board that can crossfire, and a 1000W PSU, although you could go with an 8320e if you plan to do some video editing and rendering, it should outperform the i5 in anything that uses more than 4 threads.

they used a 285 in the video, so the 390 will be faster, I'd recommend a bigger IPS 4k monitor, but it doesn't fit in the budget

I left room for future crossfire in the build, you should check how well the 2nd PCI-e slot works though

Why do most of the suggested builds I see here have cheap HDs? It's another 20-30 bucks for one that's quiet, will last forever, and offers better performance.

My advice is stick with a IPS 1080 and save up for a monitor, tons of them out there for cheap. My 25" LED backlit LCD with a ISP screen cost me $140. Put the money in the tower where it will matter the most.
