Ok i'd highly suggest that you give the attached post a very good read, attach the configuration link for the above as it needs a lot of work on it to maximise bang for buck, and let us know what the budget is.

I notice there is a monitor included in the build which is a 27" 1080p, this isn't a good choice so maybe let us know a budget for the pc and separate one for t5he monitor
