Hello I am trying to build a PC for the first time. I was thinking I would order one custom built from cyberpower within the next few weeks (hoping to take advantage of black Friday deals). This PC will primarily be used for gaming, I would like to run games on ultra settings if possible so a good GPU is a must. My budgets around $1100 not including monitor or OS. Heres what I have so far any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I was considering to buy all parts separately and have my friend build it for 60$, would that be cheaper?
