Over the last few months I have been looking for a good gaming computer I can use to play games in a more high quality way. I'm new to the idea of specs and was wondering if you guys know what is very affordable yet helpful. I've heard from a few people that you could buy parts of the computer cheaper than buying a pre-built computer. I'm just wondering what you guys suggest for me to buy for most certain parts. If you have any questions I'll answer them below.
I'm wondering what you'd guys suggest for a good gaming computer under $1100

The CX750 is a poor quality power supply that can't even run past 600W because it has been shown to even shut down from temperatures, and between the other issues with it, I'd avoid it at all costs on a high-end gaming machine.
