I have Around 1600$ to spend on building a nice gaming rig, the budget includes everything including OS and monitor. I have never built a computer before and don't really know how, or any things to avoid doing well building. I also don't really know what all of the numbers mean as far as tech specs, besides the fact that more expensive is better (In general) so help would be apreciated.

Thanks in advance.
