my budget is $1000~ plus $500 bucks in Amazon gift cards for this machine. Keep in mind I already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor. Thanks in advance!!!
My connection got really bogged down after my mom told Comcast that we're moving out on the 9th (weird, huh? )
PCPartPicker won't show me pricing for anybody but here's a list of parts that hopefully is under $1000 with most coming from Amazon. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6fCvyc
If needed get 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB (G.SKILL Ripjaws X - 1866 or 2133MHz works wonderfully), and/or bump the graphics card to a R9 280X or GTX 960.
