I'm looking for a custom built desktop for under 1000, I've never built a computer myself before and I don't trust myself the assembly of something so expensive/fragile. I've got these specs picked out, and I was hoping you guys could tell me if this should work well for new high end graphics games coming out. I'm looking for something that can at least match the ps4/xbox one.

Thanks in advance for the help guys

Building a PC isn't that difficult and there's plenty of tutorials online to help. Computers appear to be very complex devices, but they really aren't once you break them down. Anyway, here a better under 1000 build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/speedx77/saved/3Met

I left a bit of room just in case you wanted to buy a mouse, keyboard, etc. However, you can also go for a better SSD, like a Samsung EVO or get a better GPU.
 
Well lets assume that my hands shake too much to build a pc myself(and no, don't think about that to much, or you might wonder how I plan to play games on it once it's built). Would my listed specs above be enough to play new games? If not, is there some nationally available service that could build/sell a pc that could for under 1100?(including windows 7 and shipping)
thanks for the help

It'll be good for playing new games especially with that 770, and your hands aren't going to shake just be confident :D

lol, I was asking if my build would work. Obviously you think your build will work : P
I appreciate all the help I can get, I really only know some basics about computers. Never really had a shaky hand problem, was just hoping to avoid the stress of building a pc.. but it does seem a lot cheaper to build it yourself.
