I plan on building this computer for gaming of course and have read plenty of reviews about these components. I am working with a $1,000 budget for the essential parts.
I have a list parts below which I feel will work well together. I plan on buying a graphics card, and a few other things later. Any comments or recommendations would be nice.
THANKS!
