Hello. I'm a first time PC Builder and need help, as you could probably presume by the title. I don't have much of a beefy pc as of now and hope to upgrade within the next 2 years. I want to run games such as DayZ and Heroes and generals at medium settings with at least 40-60 FPS, higher would be great. I also have a budget of 700-900 US Dollars, again, less would be awesome. If that isn't possible, then a little over 1k may be possible. NOTE: I do NOT want a pre-built PC.

I really need a list of components that you prefer. Thanks.

(btw dont point out that i misspelled shiba inu it was an accident)

Do you want a big PC or a small PC?

There are essentially 3 sizes. ATX, Micro ATX and ITX

27 Inch monitor, and i dunno. I plan on putting my tower in a cabinet in my desk, and im pretty sure It can hold something pretty big. Something that doesnt cost a lot, and with a medium-ish size.

Most important is not if it will "fit". You need to make sure everything is compatible. So your motherboard needs to have the same socket as your CPU. And your GPU needs to be PCI (not really a problem as its hard to find something different). also have to make sure the ram is compatible (DDR3/DDR4) with your mobo.

Depending on your CPU you might need to get a cooler if its a bare CPU.

My suggestion would be to start with the list I posted above. With the decent processor and the 970 you should be set for some time.

watch lots of videos. If you have someone that can help build your first computer that would be ideal. If not, then ask lost of questions here. If you are ever in question, dont guess. Ask here or read the motherboard manual. RAM Configurations, PCI slots, power button setup, things like that are all in the mobo manual
