Hey guys. I thought it's time to replace my OLD gaming rig with a newer build, so I did a little research and came up with this list of components. I've never built a computer before, so can any PC experts tell me if 1) this will give me pretty decent gaming capability, at least for the next few years; 2) if all my components are compatible, and 3) are there better alternatives to any of these parts, assuming my budget is 1000$? Thanks is advance :)
