Under 750$ is fine please. Make any edits as you can. Keep it under 750$ to be EXACT.

Don't bother with an APU if you're buying a dedicated graphics card, you may as well get the Athlon CPU equivalent if you did want to go down the AMD route.

That being said..... with $750 you could very easily find it in your budget to get an Intel Core i3, which has hyperthreading that gives it 4 threads and great single core performance, the GPU you chose is good for its price and one of the best price per performance card out there.

The motherboard I chose here is purely a personal preference, you don't really need a Z97 board for a locked CPU like an i3 or non-K processor. The Krait edition is black and white and looks lovely, it also has M.2 support if you ever decided you wanted some super SSD speed

$429.99 for the computer, Leaves lots of space for improvement, mouse/screen.

Please don't recommend pre built computers. They are a waste of money and never as good as they could be for the price. That computer is terrible where as with 1000 they could have a gtx 970 and run any game they wanted and be more than 500% better than that computer.

Much cheaper if they built their own. But being the non-practical guy for computers, I'd rather not look through parts.
