~1000$ budget pc build

[Pizzaboy17]

PC main use will be for gaming. I would like to see if you guys can suggest any improvements are catch any incompatibility problems. 1000$ budget is pretty strict, do not want to go over. Do not need a monitor or mouse. Planning on purchasing it asap.

Wow, awesome build!!!! I might use this sometime. Only flaw I see is the 3 modules of 4gh ram, you can find 16gb cheaper elsewhere at the same speed.

If you're spending $1K or more on a PC, don't bother with a Corsair CX. This would be a better build IMO:

A little bit more but a far better case and PSU.
