###Build Help/Ready:
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Hello everyone! I finally saved up enough money to build a PC, been wanting to do this for a while. Thanks in advance for any help!
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
I would like to use it for gaming mostly such as Skyrim, some Minecraft and maybe some FPS, Cities Skylines, Eu4, Guild Wars, LOL, etc.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)
I would like to play games in HD, preferably on the highest settings, maybe 60 fps.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
$1200 USD max (but less would be preferred)
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
USA
Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).
