Help building a $1000 Gaming Computer
Hello!
I am quite new to computers, and I want to build a gaming computer.
I WILL be running recording systems, and games that require no lag to play.

So if one of you kind people could put me in the right direction much appreciation.

I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, so its mostly just the computer.

Thank you.

Please note: I have building experience, but not computer experience. Write in as basic words as possible.
