Build Help/Ready:

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

I plan on using this mostly for gaming and use in schooling and maybe work in the future.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I'm hoping to get a good 60 fps at 1920x1080 on atleast medium settings on many new games but i can settle for a little less if needed.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

I'm trying to keep the computer and monitor under 900 for right now and can make upgrades in the future.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

I live in the U.S so everything I'm buying will be bought and shipped here.

I just graduated high school and am using a combination of my graduation money and money ive saved working to build my first gaming computer. This is my first attempt at a build so my main concerns are how well it will run and if everything will work together well. I know i can wait 2 months to get windows free in college but patience isn't my best virtue. All comments and recommendations are welcome.
