Hi,
I'm looking to build my own computer (light gaming). I am asking for advise on putting one together as there are just so meany options!
It will be used for standard computer work, surfing, watching videos...
I say light gaming as I only really play Civ 6, Xcom and so, against the AI (don't play on line).
I was thinking of the Ryzen 1500x CPU as my starting point, and was looking for advice on matching components.

I would like to keep the price under a grand.

Thanks,
