Looking for:
Case
Power Supply
Motherboard (LGA 1151)
CPU (Core i5)
DDR4 Memory
Graphics Card
Hard Drive/Solid State Drive (probably SSD)
DVD-RW
Any suggestions?

I'm building one right now for 800 but I'm using an i3. i5 will put an additional 100-150 on top so I think you're looking at 900-1000 to be honest.
Rough estimate:
case 50
psu 50
mobo 90
cpu 250
ram 50
graphics 300
hd 100
dvd 10
total: 900 (plus tax and windows)
