I've been a console peasant for many years now and I've been wanting to join the ranks of the PC master race. I'm thinking of mostly playing some lesser demanding games such as csgo, but I want to play some more demanding games at decent frame rates. I have budget of around 800, but I would like to spend less than that. I was wondering if any could point me in the right direction since this is my first build. If anyone has some example builds that would be great and any tips would help. Edit: 800 U.S Dollars
