$900 USD Gaming build

Hello.

I am looking to spend about 900 U.S. dollars on a PC, including a monitor and keyboard.

The momitor I don't really care about, as long as it's 1080p.

The keyboard I would like to be mechanical, and I like the cherry MX Blues and Browns.

I haven't tried any other switches like that, however if there are other ones that are better for the money, I'm all for it.

I prefer Intel, however if there is a really good value AMD setup I could deal with it.

Thanks.

M12II (non-EVO)? Any day. Though 520W is lower than I'd prefer. 550W at least :P
