I'm looking to build a gaming PC and would like some advice. This is my first attempt at building my own, so I'm a little lost. Anyway, on to the details:

My budget is 1000-1200 for the build, and I have an extra 200 set aside for a monitor. I'll also need an OS.

I don't need a keyboard/mouse. This is just for the tower and monitor.

I would like a computer to play games like Skyrim, and Witcher 3 on ultra, if possible, and with mods (especially for skyrim).

I'll also be playing World of Warcraft and would like to play on ultra settings. I'll probably play other games as well, but these will be the main focus.

Anyway, is something like this possible for my budget? Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the replies!

Do you guys have any recommendations for monitors? I've been looking at some, but you guys would probably know whats best a lot better than I do. Like I said, I have an extra $200 set aside for it, but I could go up to $300 if I could get something that's worth it.

Also, do you think I should change the Phantom case to something else? Do you have one you'd recommend? I wouldn't mind changing it, for some reason it reminds me of a BMW concept car
