I am looking to build my first gaming PC, looking for the build to be solid and be powerful enough to play most game at good FPS. With some possibility for upgrade in the future. The type of games I plan to play are Overwatch and maybe some other first person games, X-Com ,and  civilization 5 and 6 when it comes out. The budget is around $1000-1200 with some flexibility. 

I need suggestions for The CPU some nice but not to crazy, motherboard that use DDR 4 memory with useful features, 16G DDR 4 RAM, SSD for operating system (Likely going to use windows 10) and favorite program, hard drive around 1T, case some nice looking but most important is that it is functional and nothing too expensive, good power supply, GPU thing about the Radeon RX 480 should be good enough for but only recommendations will be considered and plus any other hardware it missed.  

I would like some recommendations for the basic tools for build a PC and a good monitor, mouse, keyboard and headset. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
