OK. Here are my 4 builds i have been working on. They are all right around my budget, $800-$900. I'm new to this pc building business, so I dont know which one I will get the most bang for my buck. Keep in my also, I am only 15, have no steady income, and have to pay $100 more than half of $800 to $900. So i want the best performance to price ration. Yes, I understand that there is no SSD, and that will be a upgrade for the future. And another thing, I want whatever build I go with to be very future proof, i.e. being able to play newer games in 2 years at reasonable FPS. Oh, I forgot to mention that this build is mainly for gaming. The main games I will be playing are PUBG, CSGO, L4D2, TF2, and Battlefront. So, to reiterate, I want to get the best bang for buck build optimized for gaming, that is future proof, and is affordable. Thanks in advance.

actually thought, thats amazing. I may just downgrade a few peripherals so i can fit in the other monitor with 1ms response time, and upgrade the mobo mabye a little. But damn, thats so near the perfect build it hurts. Thanks my dude. What about oc abilities for the CPU?

That build by blankcr8 is as good as it gets considering the price of the peripherals. Granted an SSD would be better, but that can be purchased later with minimal fuss. Or get the ssd now, with a basic mouse/kb and get the peripherals later.
