Was gonna do it last year, but the funds and a few other things got in the way. Now I am finally ready to do it. However, I have done almost zero pc gaming in the last few months so I dont know much about current hardware. I was curious if someome could recommend me a rig. I am at work so wont be able to respond so I will leave with a few of my preferences. I prefer nvidia for graphics, no pref for processor. I would like it to last as long as possible without upgrading anything, so the processor can probably be a little juicier, as it seems that current ones destroy all the games compared to the vid cards. Easier to replace than a processor imo. Target price range is 1200-1300 max USD. I have windows and a kb/m and monitor and the like so good on those. I am ok with a multi card setup if the price to performance is good. Thanks for any help, and any additional tips would be greatly appreciated, never made my own from scratch, but I have replaced various parts before with no incident.

then pick any ATX case that you like. corsair, cooler master, and nzxt make some of the best ones in my opinion.

Echoing this (though I personally don't care for the case).

Just took a quick glance, still at work until 2 more hours. Is a 650w reallly enough to run everything without trouble?

Only other concern I have is case size. My current pc, not so much a gaming pc but gaming somewhat capable lol, uses a modified crapster case from hp. Mid sized, and I was having extreme trouble fitting all the stuff inside. Are "gaming" mid sized ones bigger in size or just more optimized to fit in all the stuff? I dont wanna run into the same problem where i have to radically reorder stuff to make it all fit lol
