Looking to build a gaming pc for right at $1000. Monitor, keyboard and mouse are taken care of, (will be upgrading to a 4k monitor in the spring). That being said, I want a computer that will run games great at 1080p right now, but will be upgradable to run 4k without much hassle. I am wanting to use the msi 970gtx gpu, where I could run 2 later. I ordered the gpu but it's out of stock, and the rest of the build I am probably going to look at black friday deals to get the best deal.
