guys i need help on building a sub $1000 pc exclusively for gaming. I dont plan on overclocking at all but i would like to have decent fps for todays games. if possible i would like to have an atx variant and an matx variant. I would greatly appreciate it if the has a lower power consumption and doesnt require much maintenance. Im a hardcore dota 2 player but i also play new games such as archeage and shadow of mordor.
Oh and one last thing, the build doesnt need to incude peripherals such as Monitor, Keyboard etc
