First PC Build

[ImNotARobot]

Hey guys! So I'm finally ready to start buying parts for my first PC build, but I need some help with picking the parts.

 

I am in the US, I'm willing to spend $1100, but I can spend a bit more if necessary.

 

I plan to use this system for playing PC games such as Star Citizen, Battlefield, and other games of that type. I'm coming over from Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

 

I currently have a single 23" 1080p IPS monitor, however I might want to upgrade to a surround setup in the future. 

 

I already have a gaming mouse and have a keyboard on the way, so no need to count for peripherals. I need to include Windows OS in the budget.

 

Thank for all the help guys!
