Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($169.10 @ Newegg)
entry level intel quad core. intel CPUs are much stronger than AMD per core, even to the point where this quad core will compete with (or beat) an eight-core AMD CPU. the 4460 isn't the newest generation, and isn't the strongest in it's line, but great for entry level. most new games will require at least 4 cores to run so anything less is insufficient.
Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($61.98 @ Newegg)
entry level motherboard. H97 chipset is great for locked CPUs that don't require overclocking and systems that don't intend to use SLI (dual nVidia GPUs). ASRock tends to be cheaper than other motherboards which fits your budget nicely.
Memory: Panram Ninja Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($35.99 @ Newegg)
RAM isn't really a huge concern (unless you plan on very high performance or overclocking) as long as you check three boxes: 1600 or greater, 2 x 4GB sticks for dual channel, and CAS latency 9 or lower.
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($51.88 @ OutletPC)
good entry level hard drive from a reliable brand. upgrading to an SSD in the future would yield some massive improvements to boot times and application load times, but isn't essential and offers little to no gaming performance.
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card ($194.99 @ Newegg)
nice mid range GPU. not the best, but definitely capable of delivering a good gaming experience for 1080p
Case: Deepcool TESSERACT WH ATX Mid Tower Case ($36.99 @ Newegg)
great entry level case. comes with extra stock fans so you don't have to worry about adding more any time soon.
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($55.99 @ SuperBiiz)
for PSU, the wattage and efficiency ratings are nowhere near as important as WHO actually manufactured the unit. brands like XFX, Antec, and EVGA tend to be manufactured by either Super Flower or Seasonic, both of which are excellent quality.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit) ($88.88 @ NCIX US)
gonna need a 64 bit operating system to support more than 4 GB of RAM
Monitor: AOC E2425SWD 60Hz 24.0" Monitor ($99.99 @ Micro Center)
cheap 24" 1080p monitor. nothing special but gets the job done.
Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse ($24.99 @ Newegg)
cheap gaming keyboard and mouse bundle. again, gets the job done.
Total: $820.78
