What is a good rig for gaming currently for around the price range of 700$? The only thing I would like is an intel processor and a nvidia card. Mice, keyboard and monitors are not needed as i currently have spare.

This is a Skylake i7 xeon build. It's a bit over budget but well worth the extra.

Aequalis has pretty much covered off what to look at in excess of $700 (6GB 1060, 16GB RAM etc)
