By the end of March or early April I'll have a total of $400, and I plan to save $100-$200 more. I would like a $550-$600 build that offers the best performance for my money. The games I play are CS:GO, GTA V, Black Ops 3, Fall Out 4, and a variety of other games. Also if you can, throw in a $100-$200 "gaming" monitor.
