Need help picking out a new PC build

So, I’m looking at picking up a new PC and could really use some pointers. My budget is sitting at $2333, and that’s supposed to cover everything—peripherals, a monitor, the whole nine yards—since I'll mostly just be gaming on it. I’ve been messing around with a few parts myself, but I figured I’d run it by you guys to see if I’m totally off base or if there are better ways to spend the cash.

It's not bad, but honestly, it’s not quite there yet.

If you've got $700, you really ought to be pushing for a GTX 960 / R9 280—they aren't much more than an R9 270 x, but the performance jump is actually noticeable. You're also missing an aftermarket cooler, and honestly, anything above an FX 8300 isn't really worth it since they're basically the same chips just with tiny tweaks to clock speeds and TDP. Definitely swap out the case, too; it's pretty dated and you can get way better value with some properly equipped Cooler Master cases in that same price range. And if you're dead set on a TV, maybe just grab a USB tuner... or if it has to be a monitor-TV combo, look for something a bit nicer than an Apple.

Here's an idea:

FX 8300
LC CC 95
GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P
Kingston Fury 8GB 1866 MHZ
SEAGATE 3,5 1TB SATA 3 BARRACUDA
GIGABYTE R9 280 3GB WF 3X OC
FORTRON RAIDER 550W 80+ SILVER
Cooler Master Z3+ MIDI ATX USB 3.0
Apple Samsung PLS 24" 1080p / -II- TV

= $2248.

By saving a little on the case, the RAM, the HDD, and the power supply, you should easily have enough left over to squeeze in a decent 120Gb ssd.

Or maybe go with the i5...

1 x LG 24 MT55D, 24" LED IPS TV, 23.8" LED with a 16:9 aspect ratio

Thanks for the assist. I'll probably just end up going with whatever McLovin suggested.
