Hello everyone. I'm really interested in building my first pc(most probably going to be used for gaming).I'm seeking general info of what parts i need to buy to achieve the best performance for the price im paying. i'm trying not to pay above $1200 range (though willing to pay a bit more if its worth the extra performance). I do have a general idea of all parts of a pc and what does each part do so dont worry about explaining a lot . For now im interested in the
Intel Core i5-4690K and the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 as main parts for my pc , as they seemed like the best choice for their price range, though im still new, so i could be mistaken . Thanks your time :)

Assuming max settings on a 1080p monitor on a 60hz monitor a r9 fury seems overkill I personally would recommend a gtx 970 due to its price for that if your a bit paranoid a 390 or 390x.
