So I recently got a job to save up money to build my very first gaming PC. I'm still very new to this and i'm not really sure what works with what. I came up with this combination but it came out a little bit more expensive than I wanted (was hoping for under $1000). I plan on using the computer for games like skyrim, battlefield 4 and watch dogs. I'm in no rush to buy these parts and plan on taking my time waiting for the best deals. A friendly review would be appreciated! *changed CPU to suggested, thanks!
