I am going to be building my very 1st PC sometime next month but before I go out and get all the parts I would like to get some tips, advice, recommendations. I have looked for parts for a while, but hearing what some of the expert builders will really help me out in the end. I plan on using this build to play games and some occasional school work here and there. Below I will leave the link to to all the parts I have chosen. I have not chosen a monitor, but if you could suggest one, that would be great.

For gaming, this would be far better, as it has a far better GPU.

The most I am willing to pay for the entire thing including the monitor is probably around $1200.
