I'm looking to build a gaming PC that costs between $900-$1100. I will need a monitor 1920x1080 ,WN 8.1 OS, mouse and keyboard and DVD drive. I plan to use some CPU intensive games like FSX,Rome II and X-plane 10 so please no CPU that costs under $150 unless you can convince me its worth it.

I would like it if it has an SSD as well as a 1TB HDD. For SSD I'm thinking about the Samsung EVO 840 which is $89 on newegg.

If your max budget is $1100 that gives you $250 for monitor, mouse and keyboard.
