Can anyone give me specs on a good gaming PC that can run games on high that's around $1200 give or take?

I'd prefer Nvidia over AMD card.

At $1200 budget you're looking at ultra... I made this build and it's priced below to give you some breathing room. This build does include OS, if you already have an OS you can use then this will be priced at $1000 instead of $1072. You can add an SSD if you like. Would help with boot times. With this build you'll have no problem maxing out games at 1080p. Anyways gonna go to sleep of you have any more questions I'll answer them in the morning
