Here is a list of PCs at different price points for gaming.

$500

This PC is for people on the absolute cheap, works well in 1080p on pretty much any game.

$850

This computer moves up the CPU to an eight core AMD FX CPU to allow for better performance in tasks like light video editing. We use a water cooler on this as the fx9590 gets boiling hot. We also moved from 8 to 16gb of RAM for more multi tasking. We also improved the power supply, a lot.

$1000

In this build we go back to a quad core but to an i5 6600. We upgraded to a 1070 8gb from asus. Gone to a 650W EVGA 80+ gold PSU. We now have a 120gb ssd paired with a 1tb hdd for mass storage, this is the storage setup I have and works very nicely.

$1500

In this build we go to an overclockable i5 6600k paired with a z170 motherboard from MSI. We have 16gb of gskill ram. This time we have a 240gb ssd with a 3tb hdd. We managed to just get a gtx 1080 gigabyte g1. Using the same PSU and have the same s340.

$2000

This setup is dedicated for serious gamers and relatively heavy video editors. In this we have a core i7 6700K which I would recommend to overclock to about 4.5ghz due to the water cooling keeping it cool. We're using a z170 pro from asus as it has a really good feature set for the price. We now have 32 gigs of gskill RAM. For storage is a 1.1tb mx300 from crucial paired with a 4tb seagate hdd for mass storage. We're using a slightly nicer case, the phanteks enthoo pro, at $100 it's an extremely good case for the price. We're using the same PSU again paired with the gigabyte 1080 g1.

If you have any ideas of how any of these could be improved please correct me
