I am looking to get into PC gaming and I would like to build my PC. I have a budget of $1000 budget. I want to stick on the green and blue team (Nvidia and Intel) and I was wondering what parts to buy since I am new to this. I will be doing some very light streaming/screen recording and I want to run games well. Maybe ghost recon or cod ww2. I'll only be outputing to one display.  I will not be needing wifi or Bluetooth on the motherboard. I will also need an OS. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Holy crap, RAM pricing is messed up. In August it was already a bit messed up, and you could get good kits for $120. 

You can pick a cheaper case, if you want.

I know it’s a little over my budget but I’ll make do.
