So , in a few weeks from now , i want to build myself a new PC that will mainly be used for gaming and entertainment purposes . No need for a monitor though since my monitor still works just fine . Can anyone tell me what should i buy ? I prefer using amazon for the retailer :) , im not quite fond of AMD cpu's and gpu's though so an intel CPU and nvidia GPU would be highly favourable . Thanks :D

If you could spare an extra $100 I would very much recommend the build above. However this is my build sticking strictly to the $1,000 budget and trying to get as much Amazon as possible and as little MIR's as I can :)
