Hello, I have made the decision to build my very own Pc this summer, but i need help since i have little to no computer hardware knowledge.
I need something that can handle any game or function thrown at it. Nothing to over the top. I do not want to go over the $1000 price range. I have spent a couple hours researching and watching videos ect. trying to find the right hardware that fits my needs. Here it is.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. As i said before I only kind of know what i am doing, but am looking forward to the experience of building my very own PC.

Try using pcpartspicker.com I like to use this as I can find the best deals. Also it ensures everything is compatible and there are tons of other builds that people have built that you can look at. Also you can't just simply post a shopping cart like that you have to share it or use a wish list that is public.

I would reccomend going for a 760 instead of a 660 and Use a standard blue wd drive and put a 128 gb ssd in as a main drive. But it all depends on price.

You will learn a lot as you build your system, that's what I did. As for suggestions, I would consider the HD 7870. It is in the same price range as the 660, but is slightly more powerful. Personally, I wouldn't get a SSD right now because of the limited life spans and high prices at the time. I would wait a couple years, because SSD drives are becoming cheaper and more efficient.

Also, if you plan on video/picture editing, buy more RAM! AE and Photoshop are memory hungry, I burn through 8GB very quickly when working with AE.

Hope this helps :)
