How close is your nearest Microcenter?
http://www.microcenter.com/site/stores/default.aspx
Do you need an OS, mouse, key, speakers, monitor? How big do you want the motherboard? do you want a smaller physically sized PC or does it not matter? It wouldn't affect performance.

This thing will run every game at its highest settings @1080p, but if you want you can always slap a GTX 780 instead for even more raw power.
If you want to go the other way. you can downgrade your CPU to the i5-4670k for an easy $100 savings.
Good luck!

This is my recommendation.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1RWpI
16GB RAM for modded 64bit games.
An Air cooler thats cheaper more reliable and performs the same as h100i
OS gets own SSD. 256GB 840 Pro for Game storage.
Fastest 280X
MicroATX. 660 PLATINUM PSU.
You still never mentioned anything about being near a Microcenter?
