800-1000$ Budget Gaming PC

[Alistus]

Hello,
I am looking to build a new PC, and I don't trust myself to be able to pick apart the builds in the recent marathon without losing power in certain aspects. I want the build to be able to play games like Borderlands 2, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft on maximum settings with high fps, while also playing a video through Netflix or another media player on a secondary screen. I have a monitor, hdtv(only 720p), keyboard, and mouse that I use with my current computer(a basic Alienware m11x), so I just need the tower. The only specific things I'm definitely sure I want in the build are an SSD and at least an i5 processor. Any and all help is appreciated, I'm not very well versed in computer hardware. Thanks in advance.

Are you overclocking?

Like I said I don't know much about hardware, but if it yielded a large increase in performance, then yes, I would definitely overclock.

Overclockable.
Should do great in 720p gaming.

Is there a cheap but fast ssd I could add on to this? Or do you think iit's unnecessary? Thank you for the help.

You could fit one in the budget but you'll need to switch the processor and motherboard to a locked version.
