    First PC build, looking for input.

    I know, I know... Noobs like me come here all the time asking about gaming PCs :P Basically, I'm looking for a build that can run modern games like Shadows of Mordor, Titanfall, etc. I do NOT need it to run everything on ultra at 60fps, I just need something that can run most modern/next gen...
