First time builder / medium budget.

[hsm]

im still new to the pc building thing and im a little mixed up on budget. i really dont know how much i want to spend, so i guess i would like to spend in the 500-650 area but my max is like.. 750$ i guess. im ok with using b-list parts or refurbished as long as they are legit retailers. The main reason i want to get it is to play some single player campaign games like mad max, mgsv, bioshock, probably not gta 5 cause it wont be able to get 60fps on it. id like at least like 1080p medium-high settings??? idk i never thought i would be in this position where i look like a noob cause ive been researching parts for like a year but im still nowhere.  im trying to save as much money as i can bc im going to collage soon.

This will do very well in GTA V.

For the budget you will roughly get the same Mobo, CPU, Ram, ect. The only difference being what GPU you want, AMD or Nvidia.
