Hoping to build an awesome gaming machine and keep the amount I spend low! I completely understand you get what you pay for but was hoping someone out there would have a good idea of PC parts that I could put together and save but not loose to much performance? Price point don't have one just if you think it is worth buying than that amount will be ok!

THANK YOU

Would a $1000 budget be enough for you? Or would you need $500?

I don't have a price limit I tend to like the expensive items and I know that doesn't always mean it's the best so that's kind of why I need help I want a great gaming pc but don't really know what parts I should go all out on or what parts I can spend less and still get a good PC so no budget limit!
