I need help building my first gaming computer

michel mainini · Jul 1, 2015

Hi I need on buying the parts for a gaming desktop. I really have no idea what I am doing so I'd rather not mess up when getting the parts. I wanted to be able to run high graphics games like gta 5 with constant 60 fps and on high settings. I'm not sure what is necessary for a computer to run that but I'm hoping it doesn't cost more than around $1100 which is my budget. I am willing to go over that budget if you are able to confirm that it will be able to run gta or any other games with around a constant 60 fps.
Thank you very much for any help you are able to provide me with.

i could probley do something a bit cheaper that will run it but this build would probley run way more complex games than gta 5
