So I'm going to build my first gaming PC, and have around $900 to build it. I already have an OS, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Does anyone have a rig around the price, or less, that works really well? I would greatly appreciate some help picking parts.

I play all sorts of games. FPS, RPG, MMO, etc.

Again, I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you!

If you have a microcenter, this is a great deal, and you can save more bundling your motherboard and getting open box parts at the store where they are cheaper than listed.
