I'm going to build a gaming PC built around a 1080p 60Hz monitor. It is going to be Windows 10 (I don't know if I should go Home or Pro) with a min of 40 FPS. I know for sure that I'll be using the Razer case, but I don't really care much about RGB lighting. I just want it to look nice inside. I know the basics of computer building, and I've designed one on pcpartpicker.com found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rfV9VY . My budget is at the very highest $1000 and I plan to play games like Overwatch and Battlefront 2 on max graphics. Is there anything I should do to this build to make it better? Thanks

Old gen I5 is not worth buying anymore, either get coffee lake I5 or Ryzen, SSD will boost speed a lot, faster ram :

Thanks for the fast reply. I think I'll go with the coffee lake i5. I've built a computer for my friend before using the old i5, so I have more experience with Intel processors, and I've done more research on them. Will I need a special motherboard for it? From my understanding PC Part Picker doesn't a coffee lake option yet so I'm not sure if it requires a different motherboard or not. Thanks

Thank you so much. That build looks great. Last question: what do you expect some of the prices to drop to during Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
