Hi I think it's time to upgrade from my GT 240 and my Intel 2 duo

I don't know what to actually spend my money on to get the best performance in games etc.
So I found this website and I thought, why not ask the pro's . I would greatly appreciate any online shop carts to check out, if you guys can throw something together.
My budget does not include a monitor so if you're gonna help me with a cart you can just exclude that.

Thanks for helping me out :) /Ken

A list of games I would love to play with my new PC;
- The Witcher 3
- Far Cry 4
- GTA V
- Planetside 2
- H1Z1
- Skyrim

Everything I listed should be available from Amazon.
If you have a single 1080p monitor i really see no reason to spend more money.
You get to the point where you can throw a lot more money at a gaming PC for little performance differance.

Could you get the price a bit closer to the budget, I already have a monitor so I don't need any extra money for that, and if you don't mind, could you choose parts only from Amazon?
