I want to build a good pc for around 1000 dollars. This would be my first pc so i want everything to be right. I dont know mow much ill be streaming right away but i want to play games on high settings. I would like an i7 and 16gb of ram to be in it with a good graphics card, but i know its hard to do that so, if its not possible put in 8gb. Im mostly going to be playing Ark, Battlefield 1, GTA5, Dark souls 3, and less gpu intensive games. Is there anybody that can help me out?

That Xeon is equivalent to an i7 6700, yes costs closer to an i5.
