I've been trying to think of a budget pc build around $750 that can run games maxed at 1080p 60fps. Ex: Witcher 3. I need a keyboard, mouse, and OS. I know it might not be possible at this budget, but it's worth a shot.

This is about as good as it will get for around $750. You'll have to wait for better availability of the RX 480 4gb but it should run Witcher 3 in high detail around 50 FPS or so. If you can afford to bump the budget up a tad moving to a better PSU like an XFX 550w TS would be a good long-term investment.

I also didn't include any mail-in rebates, if those are your thing we can probably drive this lower.

So I increased the budget to $800 and added the PSU like you said, but I also choose a different case. The CoolerMaster N200. The reviews are really good and the case is under $50. If there's a better case please let me know.

Nope, that case is fine. I'm pretty lax when it comes to case choice:
1) Does it hold my parts?
2) Does it come with at least 2 fans?
3) Does it not look terrible?

Eventually you'll want to move to 16gb of memory and maybe add in another SSD so you can fit more than 1 or 2 games on it. Also the motherboard is pretty limited in options so you'll only have 4 total SATA ports to work with, but it's manageable. Overall I think for $800 with OS and mouse/keyboard it will be a really nice gaming machine.

Thanks for the help. I was really stuggling with getting the RX480, a quad core cpu, and an SSD within budget.
