With some help of some YouTube videos I found a custom pc build and upgraded it a little bit. If you guys know how this would run and if it is good or not I would highly appreciate some feedback. If you know the estimated fps and stuff that would be great, if that's even possible.. Hopefully it is better than a PS4. Thank you!

You can get better for that price. What's your budget?

IMHO, I might use a newer generation cores rather than Haswell. Also with Skylake you can use those newer DDR4. Might be a good thing for the future upgrades or so. (Pardon my bad English)

Wow, thank you very much. How much better would that be than the one I had. The one I had could run GTA at like 70 fps. Also what is the reason for having a storage for the os? And was the 2x8 ram overkill? I am trying to learn more about pc. Thanks again for being so in depth with your reply.

My budget is also around 700. Less would be great though

Should be fine at ultra 1080p, will definitely be better than the 380. The ssd will have much faster read/write speeds than any hdd, it'll give you a very responsive feel to your pc. 2x8gb of ram isn't needed now, 1x8gb is enough. Get the extra ram if you got some money left to spend.

Also, there is a version of the core i5 that has a stock cooler. AKA the box version. It is the same price will it take up too much space?

The stock cooler will fit any case, and this version is the standard retail version.
