These are the components that I thought would work for a good pc for around $1000. Please leave a comment to give input on whether or not I should change anything.

Based on my knowledge of prices it looks much closer to $1200 but that is a super good PC a for gaming, 1070 is great and the i5 is all you need for gaming :) nice build

Hey this looks pretty good. The only thing that I think could be improved is making the RAM to DDR4. Not really a big deal but would certainly make your whole rig look more perfect. Nice components

I have no idea what to put here so I'll just put what I'm putting here so I guess now I know what I'm putting here.
