You should return several days before your purchase to take advantage of available discounts and promo sales at that time.

A 23-inch LCD from the Egg (1920x1080) generally starts at $130. An OEM Windows OS is around $90 but can go on sale for $80.

In a gaming rig, it's your video card. The single fastest video card you can afford is preferable to a multi-card solution. Frankly, prices are currently GTFO as of late with Radeons pushing 50% over MSRP because of bitcoin mining and Geforce cards taking advantage of those high prices with outrageous prices of their own.

A solid state drive is the *rage* for your OS/Apps for quick booting and general 'snappiness' A conventional 1TB HDD for $60-$70 can hold your games and handle storage.

An FX-6300 will work just dandy, or in the alternative, an i3. Either will provide a path to *more cores* when you are ready BUT with DDR4 RAMs approaching in the next 1-2 years, both major platforms are **in transition** (shall we say ...)
