Not much to say here. This is the current build I'm going with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bpCG8d
If you have any suggestions for improvements within that price range please let me know. Also it would be nice if I could find a cheap 120-144hz monitor instead of this 60hz one, but it's not a big deal atm.
And yes this is my first build.

Thanks in advance.

Is WiFi an issue? Because if you're using a desktop you're better off losing the Wifi adapter and running on LAN. That will be much better in the long run.

On your budget I'd do something like this:
