Looking to build my first PC for development in UE4 and my budget is $1,200 as it just for a start up build. I'm looking to upgrade in the future and need help. I also need help on what I can change around to see if I can get it around $1,000.

You could go with 8gigs of ram which is around 80$. Also, you could go with a i5 4690K but that i7 4790 is only 10 bucks more?!? I guess its on sale. but when its not on sale the i5 4690k is about 100$ cheaper than the i7 4790. Also, why are you only going with a single 120gb ssd? you can get 1tb 7200 hdd for 50$
