Morning all - I am looking to build my first PC but this is all pretty new to me and confusing so I was looking for some help/input. Based on some initial research and evaluating what I actually need, I've come up with the following but am still looking for a few suggestions. This will primarily be used for a home office and some light gaming. I realize it may be a bit more than I need but wanted to make it future proof for at least a year or two. Budget is around $1000
And lastly, could anyone steer me in a direction for a decent GPU? Don't need anything crazy but would like to have the option to play some games occasionally.
Thanks in advance for any input!
