My budget is up to 900 USD. What are the best components i could get with this budget?

Also depends on your intended usage.

Well, I plan to use it as a gaming pc (you know, GTA, Fallout and stuff like that). Is it even possible with this budget?

Note, there's about $50 in Mail in Rebates here, so the up front cost is a lot closer to your $900 budget limit.

You can drop down to a less expensive MB is you really need to be below $900.
