Hello! Sorry if this is in the wrong category.

 

I'm gonna be building my first computer soon for (hopefully) under $1000 USD, I already have a case, 750W PSU, and a keyboard/mouse. So I need the internal components, OS, and any solid 1080p monitor.

 

If you have the time, any builds would be great to see!

 

Thanks!

here you go, a bit off budget for a SSD. Get rid of the SSD if you don't have the budget, but I really recommend it for faster load times.

Thank you both so much! Do you think it would be practical to switch out the 390 for a 970 Gaming 4G or just keep it? Thanks!

While the 970 4G is a good card, the r9 390 usually slightly out performs it at many games and you already have a great power supply so why get a 970?
