Best build you can really do for gaming is:
i5 quad-core. Basically whichever model you want but latest is usually best (better than this is completely pointless for gaming)
8 GB RAM (again, anything better is pointless - your game will not use it)
Get an R9 290. It's barely more expensive than a 280x and much much better.
All the rest. Mine cost me about $1300 CAD but I built it from scratch. If you can repurpose a tower here, HDD there, etc, you'll save yourself lots of money. Do yourself a favor and get an SSD for your boot/OS drive. Even 128 GB. Everything boots/loads/runs so goddamn fast, you'll never be able to go back to an old timey HDD.
