I have a $1,000 to about $1,200 budget for my new computer. I would say I know a bit, not a lot, about computers and I would appreciate it if any of you guys would give me some help and feedback on the build I made up. I'm going to use this computer for mainly gaming and school. The games I play would be GTA V, Dying Light, and a few others at preferably 1080p high settings. I already have peripherals and a monitor. I don't think there's anything I have left to say, so here's the build.
