It really depends on what your intended use of the computer is, but here's an i5 and an i7 build. The keyboard/mouse is the only thing I'd say is something you'll want to upgrade later on but keyboard/mice are highly subjective so before investing in a good one you'd want to research them specifically. The i7 stretches out the $1400 build by 60ish. Corners can be cut by ditching the SSD which can be added in later on as prices drop, or dropping out to a non k series CPU.

This is a good buiold for that price range. It definitely stretches the PC budget, leaving a cheaper monitor and keyboard/mouse, but it will be great for gaming.
