I'm not trusted on building a pc something may go wrong so i don't wanna try it until i learn at a right time, Well there is a site ibuypower that customizes a pc of your own choice I recently found this http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Winter-Intel-B150/E/6928014 is a pc i can afford but i need to know the right parts to choice the max i can spend is $1050. and since i have the software of windows 7 I'll remove the software option so save myself atleast $60. (also if you guys have any other sites similar to this one that allows you to customize your own pc I would love to hear your opinions.)

You do not want to purchase iBUYPOWER or Cyberpower - they are notorious for overcharging on components and stiffing on technical support, not to mention their build quality and cable management leave a lot to be desired. Building it yourself is not that difficult. The only downside is that you're on your own for technical support but considering how much Cyberpower and IBUYPOWER hose users for shipping on defective parts (their PSUs almost immediately need to be replaced), you will actually save a lot more money building it yourself.

I know you don't feel comfortable building your own pc but for that much money you will be getting a chappy build compared to what you can build if you decide to put things together. I recommend you to build your own even if you don't have experience. Research, look at YouTube videos, etc.... Regardless, buying a pc build already wouldn't matter. Owning a gaming PC requires to know knowledge because there will be times where you will run into problems and it will be up to you to fix it.

So I recommend for you to build your own. If you need help building one I can gather info and post links to every parts to help you get your build. I'll also will offer you support over the phone heck to get you starred once you receive every part. I recommend Newegg to recieve everything at once.

Plus from what I heard pre-built systems always have something wrong.

All in all, 1000$ you can have a set up that can run everything probably in ultra vs a build that will game well but not provide enough...

Where can i check it? I'm new to this site sorry xD

 
Just click on "Your Build" in Hogybun's first post (the last thing he wrote). I also suggest building your own computer rather than buying one from some company that will assemble it for you. You can get a much better system for the money as you won't be paying for their labor and profit margin.

Only thing I'm not a fan of on that build is the huge CPU cooler. I know that the Z170 boards let you overclock locked processors to some extent, but does it really warrant dropping close to 100 bucks on a CPU cooler? I think it might be a better idea to get something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and use the saved money to upgrade the GPU to something else like an R9 390 or GTX970

Threw this together on my lunch. Still uses a locked processor but it's on a pretty good ATX board. Also upgraded the GPU to a good 970. Didn't include monitor or anything since I don't know what you have so far, but a half decent mouse and keyboard won't cost too much, and there's room left in the budget for a monitor of your choice
