Greetings to everyone.

I'm building a new PC because in a couple of weeks  I'm gonna go to university. I'm going to major in Computer Science.

I'm planning to use this computer for computer science stuff , gaming ( Dota 2, Hearthstone, Overwatch and CS GO, just those games, but I want to play them in 1080 p in ultra high quality ) and web browsing.

My budget is between 800 $ US and 850 $ US. I dont' live in the US, prices in my country are a little bit higher than normal. 

I already  have a  Samsung 1920 * 1080 monitor , a keyboard , a mouse, a DVD-RW/DVD+RW drive (from my old computer), an EPSON printer and an original Windows 10 Home  64 bits license. 

Please, help me with components of the computer. I'm new in building PC's. 

Any help is really appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.
