As the title suggests, this will be my first computer. I am able to spend at the maximum $1,000. However I need everything included in the price; monitor(s), keyboard and mouse, and case, etc. I will be mainly playing Fallout 4, but I am also looking to play the new Battlefront and minor CAD work. All feedback is appreciated.

Um Do you want a brand new system, or would be comfortable with older parts? Also what settings do you plan to game at because these are modern AAA titles. Might need 1000 just for the PC. Especially with the CAD stuff.
Bit of room left

If you cannot spend more than a grand, and you absolutely have to include a monitor/keyboard/mouse in the budget, I say put 100 aside for those three things and spend $900 on the PC.
$100 will get you a decent mouse and keyboard, but the monitor will probably be complete crap and used. Just upgrade that ASAP.
OR you could just save up a little more until you have a grand to spend on the build alone.
I heard that those AOC monitors end up having dead pixels down the road.
Might be better to buy your parts on ebay or craigslist at the price you want. Though you're rolling dice. Or just fork up another 2-300 for a good monitor.
I got a an AOC monitor here that's still working fine after 3 years, and the reviews are pretty good all around for them, they're like the budget monitor solution almost
That website can't really keep up with someone actively suggesting a build, prices change too often and the builds are prioritized in different ways
Like with the build around 400 bucks you can easily get a 380 at that price range depending on what else you cut
Ya but if he's going to game a firepro card isn't going to do much at all for that, not too much point in going that route.
I have a few builds you could look and see what you like.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GJmpcf - One Monitor only
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3C43TW - 2 dollars over but 2 monitors :D
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GdGYjX - Crossfired 370's
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BrpLQ7 - More Crossfire but 270X's
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jrpLQ7 - 970, might need a bios refresh
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4ByrFT - Dual 1080 monitors
I could make more example lists later but I am getting bored of it now :P
Pairing an AMD Athlon X4 with a R9 390? What?
rocket-tricycle much?
get an intel i5 or i7, pair it with a 380, get a solid psu (seasonic, corsair, xfx). ram, mobo, fit into what's left
You do realize that to do an i7 build is a SHIT ton more than his limit right? Even an i5 build is at 560 buccks at cooler CPU and mobo.
uhh... i5 is only $240, and a cooler shouldn't be more than $50. CAD software is very single-cored.... and games are more gpu bound.
Getting a Hyper 212 you are only looking at spending around 30$ at most.
