Cheapest i5 that's latest gen
Cheap, full size H97 board
8GB of RAM
1TB HDD should be plenty
R9 280X. Enough to play modern games at high/ultra graphics.
Cheap mid tower case, still great quality
Popular 600 watt power supply. I have the same PSU paired with my 280X and they work just fine.
Very high quality wifi adapter, can connect to both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
