New Build/Upgrade?

Now that Christmas has come and gone I'm left with about $900 USD to put toward a PC (Give or take a hundred). I would like a build that can be easily upgraded later on and I would like it to run a decent amount of games smoothly; For example: PUBG and Rainbow six siege.  I want to run two 1080p monitors and upgrade to one ultra-wide eventually. I already have Speakers, monitors, keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and storage covered as well as an NZXT Phantom 410 case (which already has 6 Corsair fans).

I'm not sure if I could use one of the power supply's or motherboards I already have to save a little money but I will list them below just in case.

 

MOTHERBOARDS:
ASROCK Fm2A88M Pro3+
GIGABYTE DX10 HT3.0 AM3+

 

POWER:
300W Power Supply (Tag got scratched off at some point.)
550W Power Supply ( Logisys Ps550e12 550w Power Supply )

 

Also it will be running windows 10 (which I own already).

Any help would be appreciated and keep in mind i can go up to an even $1000 USD for a bit more performance.

Welcome to the forum!
 

I'd definitely build new, those are both rather dead ends.

This is a touch over budget, but once you sell your old hardware it should be right around $950.

Assuming you'll use rebates, and are willing to go over budget a bit. For just 1080p, a 1060 6GB or RX 580 is fine, that'll cost $200 less. The 1070 Ti will perform quite a bit better than the 1060.

Do they need this much more storage? They already have it covered.

Ah, missed that part. If he doesn't have an SSD he can keep it, or he can just reduce the cost.

Not a huge fan of they as the singular neutral pronoun. I'd rather use "it".

"It" is for things that aren't alive.

What's the difference between the TXM and CXM models?

The TXM is more efficient, has a better fan, a longer warranty, and I think it's better in terms of regulation and ripple
