    also im pretty sure if you just google [price range] gaming rig you'll find a s--- load of sites and videos with guides and walkthroughs of the parts to buy, the things you'll be able to play, and the way to assemble it

    http://techbuyersguru.com/1000-gaming-productivity-pc-build
    http://pcgamingbuilds.com/best-gaming-pc-builds-under-1000-dollars
    etc
    even if you don't buy any of them and assemble them, might be worth reading to learn a bit more about the parts and brands and what not that are in your price range

    @Final logicalincrements.com u faggit.

    also do u plan on game in 2k Res? 4k Res? or just regular 1080p? or don't know/care?
    but basically use logical increments its your best bet for price ranges on individual parts. 1 key thing to keep in mind when working on a budget is that getting lower capacity harddrives in ur PC will drop the $$ a f--- ton (if u need space buy an external hard drive 1 tb for like $30 as opposed to $300 for 1 tb hard disk drive).

    if u want to run games good, your main focus should be on graphics card and your ram. try get about 8gb of ram, cause i dont think sticks are that expensive 2x 4gb ram sticks probably cost about $60 each roughly(?) and 8gb is plenty to run like games+other programs in the background without wrecking fps

    disagree. to stream popular games like CS/dota 2/league/WoW you don't need a high end machine and you can do it on fairly average rigs, BUT, the new 'thing' for streamers is to do "day 1 live 24 hr stream!!!" for that they definitely do need top-shelf high end stupid-amount-of-money PC's because that's literally what new games require to run on medium these days.
    for example; Witcher 3 (a lot of PC part places use it to benchmark graphics cards) will only run in 60+ fps 1080p on a 1070 card (which, without dual-cards, is the second most powerful card on the market atm)
