Best Gaming PC?

[RxZ Rubix]

I want to build a gaming PC that can run games well at 1080p since I only have a 1080p monitor. How much should this PC cost to build? And what parts should I get? Any help will be appreciated.

Ideally around ~$US 1000

Okay thanks, does that account for peripherals or only for the hardware?

Look at the build I posted above. That one should be really solid and have an overall red color scheme. If you want best bang for your buck I can squeeze in similar performance for under $1000 too including peripherals

But not a gold rated PSU

But it looks ugly

But you don't need a GTX 1070 for 1080p gaming

But that's too good

CXM's still good. Board's black in a black/red case. RAM is black. GPU is black.. it's good. 

Also it's overkill or nothing

I may seem dumb asking about this but what is the difference between a i7 and i5

The number

Well an i7 has more threads than an i5

Has higher clock speed so would be really beneficial for games that is heavy on CPU side

Alternative my friend @Droidbot picked a GTX 1070 in it too

[Herman Mcpootis]

you don't need around $1000 for a good 1080p gaming experience, around $700-800 would be more than enough.

$700:
