Been saving up for a month short from 5 years and until I hit that mark I'll have about $850-1000 to spend on a whole setup. It's about time I get something I can actually play games on especially since I literally have hundreds of dollars worth of games I can't even play. I know it's not much money for a setup to last me years, but I would be grateful if someone can review parts that I have in mind, fill in parts missing or even sell components if possible. So, for the processor it's an i3-6100, Asus h110m motherboard, 2x8GB RAM Crucial Ballistix Sport series, GTX 960, 500W EVGA PSU, 240GB SSD, I don't know much about cases and monitors, and lastly Corsair K70 keyboard. Have a nice day and thank you.

Id probably get a i5, get a rx 480.

 

Id get a cheap keyboard and buy a mech later. They not worth it for your budget(you can get dell's for about 3 bucks at surplus stores and there as good as any non mech.

I play Osu! Mania and StepMania professionally and I've got my first touch on mechanical keyboards recently; it surprisingly boosted my performance on the game.

For GPU best wait for after market 1060 or RX 480's. Or go for a 380x since the 960 doesn't beat the 380x. Or finda 970 or 380 at around 280 USD which is common now a days. But be aware of 390 since you need at best 750 watt PSU. And go for a cheapo keyboard but if you musts get a mech than go for one on massdrop since there are pretty good ones there for 50-100. And as far as casses for just look for a good micro atx case such as

The woes of not waiting to buy a GPU when new releases hit soon.
