As the title says, I am trying to build a PC. I have about a $1100 budget for all of the parts and peripherals and I want something that will be relatively future proof. I have my heart set on an Nvidia graphics card (probably a GTX 970) and some form of Intel i5 or better processor. I will primarily be using this PC for gaming and school work so it doesn't need to be ridiculous but I'd like recommendations for what else to put in it. I also need suggestions for how to get a cheaper OS because I don't really want to get scammed but I also don't want to shell out $90 or so for Windows 8 just to upgrade it to 10. Thanks for the help in advance!

Also goto [url=http://www.pcpartpicker.com/ /]pcpartpicker[/url] to make sure your parts are comparable. I personally would wait a month or two until the new line of GPUs come out to get the best possible price. On the subject of GPUs, I really urge you to consider an r9 390 instead of the 970 for a number of reasons, the primary one being that it performs better at the same price. Other than the processor and graphics card, I'd get an ssd for the os and a hdd for most of your games and other files. Stay away from Kingston SSDs. Western digital hdds are much more reliable than seagate ones. You can get a cheap legitimate version of windows from r/softwareswap. 8 gb or ram will be enough for games and basic use, but it is really cheap right now so I couldn't fault you for getting 16. [b]Do Not[/b] cheap out on the power supply, it could cost you your whole build. Good brands are EVGE, Seasonic, and certain Corsair modles(there are more good brands but I cant think of more rn). If you have any questions or would like me to elaborate any more pm me, I was in the same boat as you 6 months ago.

A 970 will be good enough, but you might want to wait a bit since Nvidia is putting out a new line of GPUs in a few months.

Well do you need a mouse and a keyboard and a monitor included with that price range? Also you can buy a cheap os on reddit
