you can go cheaper, by going the AMD rout for the CPU or try to raise the budget up a bit.

*Monitor and Operating System included

I recommend that you get an R9 280 instead of a GTX 960. It's cheaper than the 960, has more VRAM, and it's better. If you went with an AMD CPU, you'd be able to able an even better graphics card.
