I have a $1200 and am looking to build a pc that will run most of the current games with at least 50 fps, if its even possible. Any advice on what parts I should use would be greatly appreciated.

Great budget to work with. Take the parts below and add the GTX 1070 when released in a few of weeks. The retail price for the 1070 will be around $379.00 putting you well under $1100.00 and will allow you to play any games at high settings and resolutions up to 4k.
