I've been working on my 1st gaming build, planning to play a variety of games, 60 FPS if possible. I think it is with what I have. I would like to drop below $1000, but I would max at $1075

I've purchased a lot of things already (CPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, and GPU). Are there any recommendations as to what I may be able to change to reduce costs but keep the performance I currently have. Also, I'm only looking for one monitor, those as just my top choices, but is subject to change if needed.

All the things I have already purchased are in the original thread (CPU, motherboard, GPU, RAM, and SSD are all already bought)
I have a little less than $500 to finish the rest of it

I took the parts you listed out and you had $700 in the total build excluding the things you already have. And why do you have 3 different monitors, buy 3 of the same for a multiple monitor setup.

The monitors were just options I found and couldn't decide between, so I kept all three on my parts list so I could get help figuring out which one was best
