Entering PC Gaming

[BaileyKJB87]

Hey everyone so I've recently become interested in making my first purchase of a gaming pc. Simply because I'm not extremely knowledgeable of everything pc gaming and/or hardware I was coming to ask what would be a good purchase for someone looking to buy with the ability to drop about $700 to $1000 on a pc?
