Ok it's not as simple but I think I have you covered. Went for a Fury since I like AMD but you can drop a 980 for mostly the same budget if you prefer. Compromised a bit on overall storage but you can easily add a mechanical drive later on for more storage, this should take care of install and games and since you needed a monitor I went for a nicer 1440p 60hz monitor. If you go for a 1080p monitor you can probably then add the 500gb version of the 850 Evo.

Here is what I would probably do.

Mouse and keyboard you have to decide for yourself tho. I just picked those two as an example.

I tried to have a good balance bewteen all components.

The R9 390 is definitly a nice card and when it comes to price to performance its hard to beat. It performs great in 1080p and will push the high refresh rate of that ASUS monitor I chose.

There is also some SSD storage for your OS and a few programs and all your games you can put on the 1TB HDD.

Because I didn't just put all the money in PC hardware you have enough money left for high quality peripherals.

You can still change out a few components for better ones because I left a little bit of space regarding your budget.

Seriously?

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZPMnD3

please

 

Well, that's where my friend got the advice to build his computer, and his computer is now better than mine.

 

Also- improved on SPAS-ID's build here- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wtmPrH (changed RAM to 8x2 for better upgrade potential, removed GTX 970 & + R9 390, better performance for cheaper) The peripherals are all good choices

 

 

So, beacuse he could afford better components than you that means that reddit page is better? 

 

Basically, yes. ;-;
