Need a new computer

So recently my laptops motherboard died and I am currently looking for a desktop to replace it because replacing the motherboard on my laptop will be wasting money on how old it is and other things.
What is this computer going to be used for?
Maintaining my Server, Playing games like League and Minecraft and be a little future proof towards some other games that come out.
I also multitask a lot so an i7 Processor is needed for my build. (Sorry AMD People xD)
What is your budget?
1.2k USD (Leftover Summer Job)
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
I do know of one Microcenter about 20 min away from me.
What is included in the budget?
Just OS and i7 Processor and SSD as secondary drive if possible.
Will you be overclocking?
No, because I don't wanna ruin my computers lifespan xD
Will you be reusing any parts?
I already have peripherals and everything from my last computer (Laptop) No parts for this build though.
What OS do you want?
I own Windows 7 Professional on Disk but I don't really care about the version of Windows as long as its Windows xD
Any specific case preferences?
Full Size please and black color. Also good fan circulation and easy install if possible.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
SSD, WiFi, Good RAM amount 8GB or more. Video card RAM could be 2GB if the graphics card is that but higher isn't needed.

This will more than meet your needs. The CPU and mobo are in a comp deal from microcenter. It allows you to overclock, which won't really decrease the lifespan of your CPU if done properly, should you choose to do so sometime in the future.

Are you sure you don't want to overclock? If you do, it will last much longer and be much faster.
