So my birthday is coming up and i have a $900-$1000 budget. I want this build to be good at running cs go smoothly, and to be used for school work and stuff. I'm kind of new to the whole "PC Building" and such so I don't know whats best for the right build.

Okay, just curious though, is the monitor 144Hz? Because if not I would incorporate a new 144Hz monitor into the budget if CS:GO is what you really want to play.

@Xemko I'm considering using this build for my teen son who has been kicking me off my PC. 
He plays Overwatch, CS:GO, Fallout 4, No Man's Sky(who knows what will run this well hehe), are the more modern games. he plays others as well but they're all older.
Would the specs above work for those?
I would be buying this in Canadian funds so it'd be more obviously.

Good stuff. In that case a build like what Xemko posted is good. Games like Overwatch and Fallout definitely prefer Nvidia GPUs so a 1060 and i5 is the way to go.
