Hi,
I am looking to buy a gaming PC with the budget of $1300. I am not new to PC gaming and how PC's work, I am simply looking to purchase a more powerful machine. I would like it to include a Nvidia graphics card and an Intel processor. I also need a monitor included, but I am willing to spend a small amount of money on it as long as it won't effect my graphics.

Help very much appreciated,

Miles
