Here is what I have ended up with after a few days reading, watching and a little input from another thread I had. This will be my first time building a pc.

Let me know what you think for a budget build that will see some gaming use (iracing, Vrc-Pro, BF4/3, CoD) and really any other game I think may be fun. I used to do some Sim racing years ago and think I may get back into it some.

The wife and kids will use it for school work and general use when the other laptops and ipads are in use.

I may add a monitor later, but for now have a few I can use or will run hdmi to my 47" Tv.

All input is welcome but PLEASE try not to confuse me too much more

It looks decent, but check this out: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kirilmatt/saved/2bnR
It has a better GPU for the same price. Since you didn't include windows just remove windows and it will cost $725. Hope this helps!

Thanks, that looks decent as well but I am not sure of some of the parts.....again I am new to this and it may only confuse me further, but I read a few not so nice things about Asus boards, corsair cx line psu's so I was staying away from some of that. Isn't it basically the setup with the exception of a cheaper (i'm assuming worse) cooler and the GPU?

That PSU is quite good, so are Asus boards. It all depends on personal experience: people have bad experiences and then tell you to stay away. I have an Asus board and it works great.
