Welp after just buying Arma 2 (thanks steam sale RIP wallet) today and trying to play DayZ, I've had just about enough using my family computer and try to game. Not trying to brag here but I'm rocking a 2.8 GHz AMD Phenom with a GT 220 and 6 GB of RAM, so yea watch out.
In all seriousness I really want to upgrade this this cause its much overdue. Now, I don't plan on throwing out our current PC, so this is going to be a full setup; Computer, OS, Peripherals. You get my point. Now I think this build is doable on a $1000 budget, but it'll be tight. Here's basically what I'm looking for
-Able to game VERY well (not totally maxed out but nearly any game is playable)
-Good cooling for GPU (overclock)
-Possible mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse (much more concerned about PC specs than peripherals
-Good monitor
-Everything available on Newegg or a site that takes Paypal (so no amazon)
Here's a way too expensive build I through together just because. Needs some serious price cuts to fit everything I need.

So there you go. All you guys who love budget builds have at it. I have no major preference to brands (except NVIDIA for GPU) so you can do whatever you'd like for this build.
Thanks in advance everyone and have a good one!
