I originally planned to have a PC budget of a couple thousand dollars but with the money I have had to spend and classes starting up again soon I am going to need some help.  I would like some help on a PC with a budget of somewhere between $900-$1250.  I am going to want some space to upgrade.  This is my first build so I would really appreciate some good advice.  I would have it for gaming.  I especially want to get the new Witcher 3 that will be coming out in 2015 and it would be great if someone could help me out with a build that could probably run that with high graphics and FPS given the specs that it could probably have.  A good game to also compare to would be Titanfall because I would also be wanting that game with a high graphics settings and FPS.  Thank you for your help!

RIP OP he ditched the thread and went off.

I'm going to assume you have your peripherals and OS or have a separate budget for those. Also assuming you're in the US.

Sorry that was just how one of my friends who posts on here pretty regularly told me to do it. I have a separate budget for all the peripherals such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. This PC is mostly going to be used for gaming. I game all the time especially when I have nothing else planned for the day I can go on one game for 14 hours straight (games could include Skyrim, Far Cry 4, Titanfall, Witcher 3, etc.).  I will most likely be playing on a single 1080p, 120Hz monitor and plan to stay that way unless I absolutely feel I need another one. I am upgrading because I want to have a nice gaming PC that is not a laptop and is not just all looks and no performance. I am using USD and am in central United States.
