I'm thinking of building a PC

I never thought I would say that.
Ok, so what I would like from it is the ability to run the latest games and I would like it to be around the price of an XBOX One. So, I need advice on parts I should use or even a recommendation to a pre-built computer (that costs up to $1,000 AUD).
I have two games in mind that I would like it to play, Mirror's Edge 2 and Fallout 4. Both are still being developed and will be released around 2016. I would need a new computer as my laptop can run most games well but I doubt it would run these games well.
I have never done anything like this and I'm not sure if I will even end up doing it. I would prefer to finish finish it before Christmas (as Fallout 4 will be most released by then). Alternatively, I could by an XBOX One and hook it up to a monitor, but then I can't mod Fallout 4 or use the keyboard for Mirror's edge 2 (which would work much better than a controller).
Thank you! Have a very safe and productive day!

No GPU because I would recommend getting a R9 360 (will cost US$100, IDK about it's release price on Australia) and no OS because you can get one where datmoedoe linked to.
Shady, as much as I agree that he should wait for the 3xx series, that wait might be a bit longer for him, as he is in Australia. (I heard somewhere, [probably the youtube comments] that products come out later in Australia).
Also, it's very common for products to be much more expensive in Australia than in other places (also heard that in the Youtube comments).
So I could see the R9 360 being possibly $200AUD.
However, even if that is the case, I could see the 3xx series make Nvidia lower prices, so the 750ti could very well be in the OP's budget.
Regardless, though, I think I remember the OP saying that he is going to play games released in 2016, so there's a chance that he won't build it for a while, thus allowing the prices to drop a bit.
Totally agree.

What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.

If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.

1. Mostly gaming.
2. $500 - $700 Australian Dollars.
3. Australia.
4. A 1080p monitor which is something I can find myself.
5. I am not planning on overclocking.
6. No.
7. Windows 8.
8. Something decorative, like a smooth white casing that is about medium size.
9. Wifi and HHD
I'm not looking for something that is overkill, it just has to be good enough to run the latest games with average performance.
