My First PC & I Need Professional Help.

[ConsoleGamer911]

Hi, I'm building my first PC. It is mostly for gaming. I have a budget of around $1000(including peripherals). I already have a list but would like to see what others think about it so I don't make any mistakes.

Requirements: must run any game 1080p max settings. And near $1k

PLS revise my list and feel free to make any changes.

Don't skimp on the peripherals. You really want a good mouse and headset. Keyboard is not really important though. The monitor you selected is also overpriced. You can get a good 1080p IPS monitor for less, and the Crimson Control Suite has built-in monitor overclocking, although YMMV. You're also missing an SSD. If you focus on price to performance and an overall good experience, you can get this:

Assuming the budget is about $1100 since the RAM is not included in the final price, here's my recommendation. Lose the ASUS R9 390, cooling is rubbish. I've included an SSD so it'll fit your proposed build's budget if you don't include it, but I highly recommend you do and use it as your boot drive.

I would dump that power supply and go with http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Crossfire-Warranty-220-G2-0750-XR/dp/B00IKDETOW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452518737&sr=1-1&keywords=evga+g2+750w

This is $50 over budget but it is really good because lga1151 will offer an upgrade path when Kaby lake is released

Because corsair is a reputable brand and it has decent reviews on newegg

if you don't like the psu you can just swap it out for a psu that you trust

Oh guess you didn't know that the cx series from corsair is a bad choice for a psu and I did recommend one up in the comments because when it comes to the psu you should never skimp out on it and buying a cx would be skimping
