OT: Building a Gaming PC

Calling all TKP computer experts!

I'm interested in building a gaming PC at an affordable cost. I know that the affordable part can be the challenge, but I'm not wanting to spend 2k on a machine. In the world of building a computer, I'm very much a noob. I know what parts you need to make a computer tick, but as far as which make/models to choose I'm clueless. Some of the games I want to be able to play w/o any problems are Battlefield 1, Squad, TF2 and Payday 2. I would like to spend between $500-$1000 max for the whole system. Is this possible? Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance everyone!
