Hi, I was hoping to get a computer around graduation (May/June). My budget will most likely be around the price range of $850-900 USD and I was just wondering what you guys thought would be a good build. I will also need a monitor and mouse and keyboard. I'll also post one of those guide things right below this so please go over that. Thank you in advance! :D 

Approximate Purchase Date: Late May- Early June

Budget Range: $850-900 USD

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Video Editing and Recording, Microsoft Office

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I need a monitor

Parts to Upgrade: Full, New Build

Do you need to buy OS: No
.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon (I Have prime)

Location: Chicago, IL

Parts Preferences: Graphics Card: Nvidia
CPU: Intel (But if not possible fine with AMD)
OS: Windows 7

Overclocking: Maybe in future, needed right now

SLI or Crossfire: No, mostly just going to sell current card for a better card in the future

Your Monitor Resolution: Preferably 1920x1080p

Aandtional Comments: Whatever is best for a computer going in my room (ex. ATX, MATX) and i would like to play games such as Battlefield 4, DayZ standalone and Titanfall and I need a mouse and keyboard to hold me over until I get a mechanical keyboard and nice mouse.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Just want to get into PC gaming but never had enough money until now

This will probably be the best since you need the monitor. Good build @M0j0jojo pretty much sums up mine with a monitor.

I was just wondering, should I go without an ssd and also go with a asus 23" so I can maybe afford a 3570 or 4570 so in case of upgrades I won't bottleneck anything?

Yea, if you can see that you can save money and go with a better cpu go for it and plus SSD's are not that necessary and for a monitor even a 21.5" monitor will do fine for gaming.
