Hello, I am new to pc gaming and planning to build my first within the next few weeks. I have a budget between $800-1000 for the case and inside components and will also need an OS. I plan to mostly play mmorpgs and single player rpgs. What would be the best possible builds for the budget to achieve high settings (ultra if possible) with good fps. Also i may choose to overclock if i learn how in the future but non overclocking builds would be ok as well.
