Hey, I’m new to the gaming community, and I’m starting to decide on building my first gaming PC. Obviously, being new, I have almost to zero knowledge about gaming PC, but I’ll learn with time. Sooo, I just want to ask for any suggestions on a good build to start with, around a $750-$1000 budget. It will be mainly for gaming, but for common stuff as well. And another detail that could help on suggestions is that I would like to have something with good performance.Thanks in advance to any suggestions on builds.

More ram ( a pair of 8gb sticks, 3000mhz or faster) (around 100 more).
A 6gb gtx 1060 card (around 100 more)
Switch to a Intel system (faster for games, i5-8400 + appropriate motherboard = 50 or so more)
Maybe look at a 27" monitor (100-800 more depending on model).
Lots of options, I hope you find the baseline I created for your consideration to be useful and helpful.

The build revolves on your CPU of choice. The most current models is Intel and Ryzen. Intel is still great for just gaming online, but Ryzen has multi threads which is great for handling a ton of work at once. You can build a solid system in either platform. But be aware that intel is more expensive, so to keep within your budget I'll recommend Ryzen, its closing the gap between Intel fast.

*Note I should have said 'AMD and Intel', Ryzen is AMD.
Intel takes LGA motherboards.
Ryzen takes AM4 motherboards.
Motherboards under 100 are usually budget builds and for the average person.
150+ is basically enthusiasts with more features and 200+ usually have all the bells and whistles for waterloops, 3D printing etc.
Average user needs 8Gs of ram. If you're gaming, I recommend 16GBs.
Buy a MB that has at least 32GB expansion. You'll want the extra slots to upgrade in the future.
Get an SSD drive to boot your OS and store frequent programs to even games. It's pricy but you can also get a nice HDD 7200RPM for all your main storage.
Air cool your CPU, don't go straight for the AIOs and all that fancy stuff. Don't complicate your life yet. Your Case of choice is important, if you want a smaller MB, don't buy a HUGE case. It'll look ridiculous. And don't buy a small case with a HUGE motherboard.
Forget about color schemes and aesthetics , they'll confuse you to no end and most parts will not be compatible. Don't buy flashy RAM either, you'll just waste money on looks. Buy stuff that works together and you should be fine.
