I'm looking to build my first gaming pc.
I'm fairly new to this all and if someone could put an average system together I would be grateful.

I am willing to spend a little more on the CPU as well as a motherboard because I can see myself upgrading other items in the future.

Note that this is specifically for gaming as I have a laptop that I prefer doing most of my schoolwork on.

Thank you!
