First PC build (Gaming)

[GamingKevin]

Just picked this off the build guide as a base because I'm new to this and have ZERO clue to what's good or not.

 

I'm open to improvements if needed! My Budget is 1200 USD$

Edit 1: Sorry for not being very specific. I would like it for gaming and every day use. Budget is only for the builds and I will take care of peripherals on the side!

Will you just be gaming? Do you need peripherals?

 

Base build with monitor and OS:

What games are you looking to play?  What monitor do you have, or WANT TO have?  Monitor resolution determines GPU required, in simple terms. Only gaming?  Do you want to do video editing, streaming, etc?

 

What else do you need?  Monitor?  Keyboard?  Mouse?  Speakers/headset?  Does this all come out of the $1200?

 

One of my mistakes when building my first PC 20+ years ago was not including the peripherals in my budget.  So I was using a free cheap keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. for years

 

Edit:  Lol, just beat me to it.  I'd swap in the 6GB 1060 for a bit higher framerates, but otherwise I like the above build.

mATX only, or ATX will do?

I'd like for gaming and everyday use.. Been doing FPS all my life with the occasional Single player games like Uncharted series and Fallout! I will handle the peripherals on the side.

 

Edit: Uncharted is Playstation exclusive my bad lol
