Hello

I have a $700 amazon credit card so I must buy from them.

I have: OS, Hard Drive and Mouse.

I need: Keyboard, Monitor, CPU, MOBO, RAM, GPU, PSU & Case.

This is what I have in mind:
$190 Core i5 6500
$60 H110 mobo
$50 8gb ddr4 (single stick?)
$180 GTX 960 / R9380
$50 PSU (please recommend me a good one)
$30 Case
$130 Monitor (23" ~24") (please recommend me a good one)
$10 Keyboard

What do you think? Please give me some recommendations. I can add extra $50 and get Z97 and 4690K and use stock cooler for 2~3 months. 6600K and Z170 + Cooler is just to expensive for me. Max budget is $750.
I want to play GW2, Witcher 3 Dragon Age Inq. Cities Skyline, Anno 2205, RPG, MMO, MOBA and maybe some third person shooters.

Thanks.
 
What resolution do you play at? I play @ 1080p and can run all those games without a single lag spike on ultra with my 280, fx8320, 8gb ram and a basic other stuff. 23 or 24 monitor would be either 1080p or 16x9... I think you could get away with a FX8350 and a better graphics card like a 280x/380x
 
Thanks for your answer. I plan to play at 1080p. I already thought about fx8320 but I play MMOs, specifically GW2 and thous game are CPU bound and poorly optimized so I need strong single core performance for my CPU.

Once you add in the $190 for the 6500 they dont have then its almost exactly $700
