I plan on playing games like GTA V, Skyrim, Witcher 3, overwatch, battlefield 1, etc..

If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the price down to about 750/700, please feel free to let me know! The i5 6500 is non negotiable, but perhaps a slightly cheaper graphics card? I was looking at the msi radeon rx470 4g armor OC as a potential option. I am looking only to play at 1080p with high settings (at least for the time being). Thanks!!!

Hello and thanks for asking on Tom's Hardware!

Well, most of your games do not require a horsepower kind of GPU so I recommend either the GTX 1060 3GB or any of the RX 470 models. If you want to SAVE some money, I also recommend the GTX 1050 Ti OR looking on the secondhand market for a GTX 780 or R9 290. Hope this helps!
