I have been watching videos and reading about building a PC and I have come up with a a build and just want some help on it. I want something that can run games on at least High and be able to last a couple years before having to upgrade again.

I'm looking at a budget of between $1000 and $1200, if possible.

Here is what I came up with, I'm sure there is somethings that can be changed/improved.

That system is fine. These prices will be different by the time you are ready to by something though. Also some of those prices are a little high. I have seen that gpu card for about 50 bucks cheaper at fry's electronics. So keep shopping around.
