Looking for a build.

Ok, so what I want is a PC that is $1000, it must have the keyboard, and monitor included.
What is this computer going to be used for?
I will be doing normal games like Payday 2 and Counter Strike, which aren't too demanding, but I would also like to play Metro Last Light.
What is your budget?
$1000 USD
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
I live in the US, I don't have any micro centers nearby but there is a Best Buy.
What is included in the budget?
Tower, the OS, the Keyboard, and the monitor
Will you be overclocking?
No.
Will you be reusing any parts?
No
What OS do you want?
Windows 8.1
Any specific case preferences?
This case. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-spec-03-orange-led-mid-tower-gaming-case
Any other special features that you want in the build?
I would like a large (at least 1tb hard drive), and a wifi card.
Also, I would prefer at least a r9 280x.

plava_deeqoAlthough this build lacks a monitor, it definitely doesn't lack on the performance side of things. Great choice of case, keyboard and Video card, I have all three and can easily say they are my best investments yet.

Worse keyboard, but a better GPU[/quote]
@OP, get this. It is worth the upgrade to a 970.[/quote]
Or you can just wait for 960 and get a better monitor (that's a low-end one).[/quote]
Or even this, but if you need it soon, get a monitor upgrade sometime sooner or later

I think this is alright for $1000. Wait for someone from the PC group to build one though.
I don't really need the mouse and keyboard bundle because I already have a mouse.
It is a good quality keyboard for the price, I'd suggest using it until you can save up to get a mechanical keyboard if desired.
