I want to build a PC and my budget is $1000 US. I'm only going to use it for gaming and maybe light multi monitor use.( Meaning one monitor is playing a game and the other is watching a live stream or YouTube stuff, if that's possible. That itself might need a another post) The gaming is going to be hopefully able to run new games at max settings at very good FPS. (Hopefully) Right now I only have one monitor and it's at 1080p. But I do plan to get a nice 1440p one when they become better (G-SYNC and higher Hz rate) Peripherals are outside of the budget and I do need a copy of Windows. I have a preference of NVIDIA over AMD, but it's not the end of the world if I get an AMD GPU. As for cases and color scheme, I think that the Corsair 760T Graphite looks sexy and I'd like to have a green/white/black build if possible. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
