Help building my first PC

[Gizmo706]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if I could have a little guidance building my first PC. I was looking to build one around 1,200 or less and have it optimized for gaming, thank you!

This build guide could be a nice starting point for that budget:

Use the build above, but switch out the psu. It's a very iffy model, build quality is suspect.

If we are gonna stay with 80 plus gold then this one should be good:

Corsair RM550x

I would personally get the SSD later for the 35% extra performance the 1080 TI offers.
I'll make two options.
