So I'm wanting to build a gaming PC that will be able to keep up or exceed the next gen consoles, but I've got no idea where to start or how much money I'm looking at spending. Any info, pointers, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Budget - Prefer to stay as close to $1000 dollars as possible, but can go higher if necessary. Absolute limit would probably be $2000.
Resolution - Going to use my LCD television as the monitor so 1080i?
Games / Settings Desired - Basically looking to match or exceed the abilities of the Xbox One and PS4.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) - Really don't do much else outside the normal internet activities and typing for school.
Country - United States
Parts that can be reused - None, I'm looking to do this from the ground up.
Do you need an OS? - As I said I'm doing this ground up so yeah I need an OS.
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? - Need a mouse and keyboard. Have everything else.
