Hey guys! So I'm new to this/and all forums in general. My Lenovo Y50 was stolen about a month ago. It was my only source of gaming and was more than capable of playing the games that I regularly play (League, H1Z1, Battlefront, ect.). So I saw this as an opportunity to build a decent gaming pc. The only problem is I have a tight budget and will have to buy all of the components paycheck to paycheck.
So I'm looking for help and recommendations for what components will give me the cliche "best bang for my buck". I'm looking for a system that will be able to be upgraded easily as I get a greater budget and will be able to play most games at 1080p/720p with a frame rate of at least 60.
Here is what I have so far:

P.S. I already have a case and a copy of Windows. Thank you to all who reply!
