First PC Build

[cms28277]

I am planning on building my first PC in the next month or so. Currently I play games like Planet Coaster, Cities Skylines, and Rocket League. I also do some 1080P video editing from time to time. I would like to have a build around $700 - $900 Any suggestions?

need OS/monitor/peripherals?

Just Windows 10 and a wireless network adapter. I have everything else already as peripherals go.

Do you have a decent monitor? If not, it is commonly overlooked.

i know this isnt strictly related but ram prices have skyrocketed. i got an 8gb stick of ram for $20 a couple months ago and now that same stick is like $50 or more.

Is the 1600X worth the extra money over the 1600? It still keeps things in my price range.
