Okay so I took the liberty of doing a pcpartpicker build to make you a build that has no compatibility issues (The site mentions a bios update that isn't needed but is easy to do anyway if it was), will run games at ultra 1080p settings and unless you get a broken part (Does happen occasionally only once out of all my builds has this happened) or somehow **** up (which is damn near impossible too do considering things only plug into their corresponding plug socket).
I know you've had issues before but trust me this is the best way of going about it. Seems you've just got bad luck, with idiots giving you parts too buy that don't support the parts you have. And a computer shop guy screwing you because I used to be one of them and it's obvious he fucked your wallet long and hard while putting off doing what should have been a couple of hours of work for months. The way you describe it he took you for a ride.
It's sad too see people like that ruining peoples experiences with pc's, are still running around and in actual business. I had to have a guy do a rebuild of mine as the power supply tested okay but wasn't and I and others couldn't figure out why it wouldn't post on start up. Cost me $50 dollars for the full rebuild and finding out the problem and it took a day and a half too get it done and out the door with a new power supply (old one sent back for refund). So as you can see he is horrible at his job who ever it was you brought it too. I literally dropped it off went got drunk woke up ate breakfast got drunk again and picked it up before dinner.
Here is the AMD build costing $734: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7nCnVn
You could also make it cheaper by using your old storage if it's a sata connection and the ram if it's DDR3, same with the case but the one I gave is rather nice I've used it before for a couple of builds.
If you want help in putting it together watch linus tech tips build guides on youtube. He makes great videos on all things tech and even explains in other videos what all the parts are what they mean and how to take advantage of their abilities. His channel is great for a person not sure of what parts do and why.
I know you said your sick of building them but, out of all the 7 builds I've done for friends and myself, not one of them has kicked the bucket had any major issues (besides that power supply), and they all play games at high/ultra 60fps at 1080p for under $900. You wont find that in any pre built on the market for around the same price that's for sure. Hell this machine should be able to do even 1440p at lower then 60fps.
