800$-950$ Gaming build. *Info*

[SirSamuel]

Hello! I am furthering my knowledge about computer parts everyday, though I don't know what I should really do... knowing that there are just so many options to choose from. I would like to hear some builds and why you chose those pieces. I plan to play more of the modern and upcoming games (Rust, BF, Etc.). Please try to give me tons of info to cram in. Thank you

Do you want the Monitor/Keyboard/OS (Windows 7/8)/ etc in the build?
