I'll try to be as detailed as possible:
Budget?
< or =$1200
Goal(s)?
My ultimate goal is to be able to run most games at 1080p 60fps
Previous Rig?
AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz, 8192MB RAM Corsair Vengeance, NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 (has served me well.)
Plan to do any overclocking?
No. at least not right away. I'm learning little by little, and am taking this one step at a time.
What research have you done on your own?
Well, there is this MMO coming out called Black Desert. It caught my eye because it looked great in motion. I saw that the guy who created those videos was running it really well, considering he was recording it using some sort of 3rd party software as well. So I figured I'd ask him what he had under the hood, and use him as sort of a "jumping off point". This is what he said:
That was January 6th, 2015. Since then, I have been pondering what to do (to give you an idea about how nervous I am).
So what build are you currently looking at?

You have an OS, Monitor, keyboard, and mouse?
Yes. From my last rig of course.
My question to you all? Did I do that right? Could I spend a bit more money and get something better? Could I spend a bit less money on a component and do better? Please forgive my ignorance. This is my first time building a rig from scratch. Thank you so much guys~

"Here are my complete specs, this pc was build 2 years ago, so it may be a bit outdated already, you can get the new equivalent pieces, but it was really an affordable system for price/quality:
CPU: i5 3570k (OC @ 4Ghz)
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H
RAM: 8Gb (2x4) Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3-1333@1600(XMP)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660ti (it's like current 760)
PSU: Tacens Radix VI 850W
SSD: Crucial M4 128Gb SATA-III (For system, but there are better now)
HDD: Any SATA-III 7200rpm or more should work
Air Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (with 2 attached fans)
I recommend better cpu or gpu to play new games like BDO, I will upgrade my gpu to GTX 970 anytime soon, and maybe more ram too, hope it helps?"
