    Im thinking about building my first gaming PC. I quickly threw some parts together and I want to see what you guys think. I'm also not 100% sure of everything I need to build from start to finish so advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that my budget maxes out at $1,000.

    Also, how would these parts I've chosen compare to the PS4 in terms of performance?

    Thanks guys!
