Hello, I need a little help picking parts for a new gaming computer for myself. I want to be able to play games like LoL and Diablo 3 with +80 fps. I also am hoping to use multiple monitors at once, with one monitor would be playing a game and on the other I would be browsing, looking things up, recording, live streaming on the other. Also don't forget the type of monitor you recommend.

Please include specs, prices, and sources. Much appreciated if you leave a solution!

You need the full package? OS, mouse/keyboard? If you want both monitors in the price you wont get much of a system for $1000.

Either take out the ssd for a nice monitor or chose a cheap monitor.

Would these specs be enough for playing one game on a monitor and browsing, recording, etc. on another?

Do you have another build including a monitor, I am okay with the CPU being AMD if it has to be, also the maximum cost is 1100$ so there I a bit more room
