Okay, so a few handful of decisions later, I ended finding a slightly quicker way to get the computer I wanted. I had a $1,500 budget, and then eventually turned into a $2,000 budget. Then I had car troubles and ended up having to get a new vehicle. After restoring my computer budget I bit, I ended up with $1,500 again.
Instead of building a computer I'll settle with, I decided to order a computer I want. I went through
http://originpc.com and financed a computer for $2,700. With the $1,500 I have, I'll only owe $1,200. My payments would have originally been $113 for 36 months, but thanks to my down payment, I'll only have to pay $113 for 10 months, or you know, have it paid completely paid off in a few months because I know I can come up with that money pretty quickly.
As far as the stats go, I can't really remember exactly everything I got from their customization but here's a few parts.
Millenium Mid Size Case
Asus Z97 Deluxe Mobo
Origin 120 Liquid Cooling
Intel i7 4790K Quad Core 4.0Ghz
850watt EVGA Power Supply
Single GTX 980 4GB
16GB 1866Mhz HyperX RAM
120GB HyperX SSD
2TB Hybrid Drive
Can't really remember what else I picked out from customization but that's pretty much the important stuff anyways. I'll get my computer in about 12 days so I'll definitely post some pictures when it gets here.
