New Builder - $700-900 budget

[cobrasah]

A buddy built my current rig which is 6 years old, but I'm looking to build my own now.

Approximate Purchase Date: Within a month

Budget Range: $700-900 after rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, web browsing, watching movies

Are you buying a monitor:No

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com, Micro Center, Amazon

Location: St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Parts Preferences: Intel, Gigabyte (but I'm open to anything)

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I'd like it to run quietly. I'd like to future-proof it as much as possible. I want to run Fallout 4 and Pillars of Eternity at or above Recommended specs.

Why Are You Upgrading: I want to be able to play newer games while having it look decent.

Here is a pretty potent system. Go to the Microcenter in Brentwood and at least get the CPU and mother board. They have a bundle price in store that can't be beat anywhere.
