1000$ Gaming PC build request

[SirTel]

Hello,

i hope its fine to post this request on this forum.
So, becuase i am not really in the matter with Computer things and stuff, I just ask you, if this is okay.
I need a Gaming PC for playing games obviously. A SSD is not needed.
I would be happy if you just post a system (incl. Tower, i dont mind whitch one) that i can buy and set together.
No further preferations like AMD or Intel. Just a running system.

Greets

Intel Xeon? I only know the i3, 5 and 7 series.
And the SSD is not needed, because the money for the SSD could flew into another part of the PC. I dont need it.

Intel Xeon? I only know the i3, 5 and 7 series.

The Xeon, in this case, is an i7 (four cores with hyperthreading enabled) without integrated graphics. Since you will be using a discrete GPU, you won't miss the integrated graphics.

Xeon/i7 is overkill for gaming though, an i5 will offer the same performance as either of those. If OP was doing video editing or 3d rendering then the extra price for an Xeon or i7 would be justified.
