Advise on building GAMER rig

[h0td0gfr0g]

Hi all, I'm intending to build a rig and it's my first time so I'm a noob at it. Mainly, I only use it for surfing net and playing some games thats all. Games that im playing will be dota2, CS:GO and MAYBE some mmorpgs? As mmorpgs requires long intensive grinding, do take into consideration that I don't want the pc to overheat as my pc will be running almost 24/7. If my budget is out of the option, I'm fine without playing any mmorpgs. My budget is sitting at 1.3k including a monitor, I already have mouse and keyboard. Kindly advise the specs and which shops can I go to. Thanks!

256GB is not overkill at all. If you are getting from tradepac, they have a bundle for powercolor r9 270 & fsp hexa 550W @ $298.
