The only catch is I have to buy this on a payment plan 😁

So, if anyone can put together a decent best-buy build within that budget
I'd appreciate the help...

Just a heads up, this won't be used for gaming πŸ™‚

Do you need a monitor and other peripherals too?

Are we talking about an office and web surfing setup?

Just the towerβ€”no monitor or peripherals included. A buddy of mine was looking at picking it up at Best Buy for $833 during some sale, but the only part that seems decent to me is the i3 4170, if I'm remembering right. Honestly, who cares about πŸ™‚
?

You don't have to blow your entire budget at once.

FUTURE TECH BASKET

1 x Intel CPU desktop Core i3-6098P (3.6GHz, 3MB, LGA1151) box
1 x MSI H110M PRO-D (S1151, DDR4, USB3.1, SATA III, DVI, Audio, LAN) mATX Retail
1 x Kingmax 8GB DDR4 2133MHz
1 x HDD Toshiba P300 1TB, 64MB, 7200rpm, High-Performance
1 x Kingston UV400 240GB SSD, 2.5” 7mm, SATA 6 Gbit/s
1 x Zalman T1 PLUS, mATX, USB3.0 black
1 x Fortron Hexa+ 400W, 80+
1 x LG GH24NSD1 sat Bulk Black 24 x

Total: $1095

We could definitely trim the costs hereβ€”for instance, by picking just an SSD or just an HDD, dropping to 4GB of RAM, swapping the i3 for a Celeron, or using a cheap ass power supplyβ€”but if you go with this setup, you'll be set for a long time.
