Looking to play Fallout 4, Star Citizen, maybe Division, etc. So I definitely don't want something entry level, more mid-level. Jeez now I'm lost if it really makes sense building a box?

I went with AMD's Athlon 5350 APU. It's a quad-core processor that has an integrated GPU (Radeon 8400). The processor was under $60, and the mobo was on sale for $30 (normally $55). Add in another $150 for case/psu/ram, and you've got a decent entry-level system. It runs Minecraft well. I even tried Arkham City with most options turned on, and it ran nicely. Later on, I can drop in a new GPU for more power.
