Gaming PC for $1300

I'm interested in building a PC, but don't know where to start. It would be great if I could have some help.

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • ARK: Survival Evolved, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Rocket League, Minecraft, and Terraria. I want to be able to run discord/skype with them at the same time.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • A bit above $1300 if it helps but no more than $1400.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • Probably around the 10th.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Everything except the OS, a mouse, and a keyboard.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • The U.S.A, and I do have access to a Microcenter if needed.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • Mouse and keyboard, but that's it.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • No, I have no plans for that.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • An SSD would be nice, but if it costs too much I don't need it. I want at least 2 TB of total storage.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • Nothing fancy. As long as it works I'm fine.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • No, I can do that myself.
