I3 version is fine. For media the graphics processor matters more and nowadays anything above Intel HD will do. Shoot for around $500 your better off making a small ITX system so you can also play games

How come it seems like many of my games don't have 1920x1080 resolution settings. Seems like most games have 1600x900 as the max. Is it my monitor or gpu/CPU or is 1600x900 the norm?

Check your monitor plugs and drivers. That shouldnt happen.
I picked up 3Dmark and Gamedev tycoon(Love it). Nothing I really want

Can you point me in the right direction? I'm pretty new to this. Only reason I am leaning towards the nuc is because it's so small and I don't want a huge tower.

Either option. As long as it is within my budget, does the small tasks I specified and is in a small case. I want it to sit close to my tv.

Here is something simple for $450. Just grab a keyboard, mouse and a controller. If you wanna really game on it then grab r7 250 or just upgrade the CPU to the A10-7850K when it drops then enjoy.
The case is something simple and small. I prefer silverstone and would recommend the SG05/6 and PSU

@Milestailsprowe you seem like you know your PC stuff pretty well. Think you could help me get a good gaming PC on a budget? I am not tech savvy at all
I just want a PC so I can play a few games like Phantasy Star Online 2, FF XIV: RR, a few shooters here and there. I'm not looking to build one myself just don't know what kind of specs, setup I need as far things like RAM, core processor etc. Thanks for any advice you may provide

Define Budget? Building your own on a budget starts around $500 and ends up being around $600 once mic, controller, keyboard and mouse get involved. Thats counting if you HAVE NOTHING to recycle and reuse.@Milestailsprowe

For a prebuilt like you want its gonna cost around $700+ but you get warranty through one company and all that.
Another option is to order your parts from the website NCIX and you can pay them $50-$100 to assembly and test it for you if you purchase all parts through them. They will also cover it in a warranty.

I'm considering the 770 but don't want to buy it if the 800s will be out soon after

Summer time should be around the right time but thats guessing and if your grabbing the 750 ti I would suggest the 265x instead for more performance. The 750ti is for low wattage systems
Waiting on stuff isnt worth it alot of times. Just grab a used one for lower cost if you wanna save some cash till the new stuff drops or try to catch a deal.

I hope it doesnt get eaten up by miners. I was glad to get my 270x before miners were buying them up
