I need one that can be upgraded highly later on. For now I want it to run most triple A titles on high at 60 fps. Like COD, battlefield, ArmA, and games like that.
I have no choice but wireless connectivity and need keyboard and monitor.
Please help!

I tried building one can you make it cheaper but still run as well? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qDHBxr

If you want a Z97 motherboard you're looking at another $50 but if you want to overclock I'd suggest increasing your budget to at least $1K minimum.
