Hoping to be able to run most modern games (mostly RPG/MOBA, occasional FPS) at around 50-60+ fps, as well as some occasional light photo-editing, etc. I'm looking to trim costs wherever I can, so if you notice any parts that can be substituted for better value/cost efficiency, please let me know. If I can bring the final cost down to $800-900, I would be very content.
