Hey all, as I've recently passed my 3 month probation from my newest job, my sights are set on getting a new rig that can run the latest games on high-ultra settings. It's not the best paying job, so I'll most definitely will be needing a budget gaming pc, so I'm hoping to get some help from these forums as I'm not an expert when it comes to getting a brand new build. My current build is not the best, it's very old.

I5-4570
GTX 660
8GB ram

Not the best system at the minute, but it can still run most games on low-med settings, depending on the game of course! I'm hoping to get some help picking parts, preferably a $700-$1000 budget.
