Hi! I am new to building pcs, and good pc parts are quite rare in my country so I can't get my hands on everything I want.
I am going to buy all my parts through this website:
http://citycenter.jo/index.php?route=product/category&path=18

If possible, can you help me to make the best possible 1000JD/1200$ gaming pc out of parts picked only from this website?
I am hoping for a gtx 1070 or 1080 as the graphic card, but idk about any other parts really.
 
Solution
My build will support VR and 1440p no problem. 4K is not quite there.

I am not a fan of pre-builts as corners are usually cut to make profit. In looking just at the i7 build

- You have an i7-7700 CPU (non-overclocking) paired with a Z270 mobo (overclocking)
- Stock CPU cooler (okay, just not better)
- Decent mobo
- RAM is at 2133
- Decent video card
- No SSD
- There is no discrete sound card, this is just what comes with the mobo
- Really good case
- Very questionable PSU, no reviews and recent entry into the PSU market. Low quality PSU's are risky.
- Warranty is only one year on the system while many of the component manufacturers are giving three plus years warranty

So you are paying almost 1000 JOD for a non-overclocking build...
Okay, here is a build, went a little over 1000 JOD. No OS or DVD drive or WIFI. I only chose from items that were in stock, not sure of the availability of out of stock items at this website. They have many items listed that are out of stock. If you need the build altered to add components or reduce cost let me know.

Build is setup as overclocking capable with K-processor and Z270 mobo. Only 8GB of RAM, that could be an upgrade point here as 8GB seems to be the minimum these days. Only added one 250GB SSD, an additional HDD is another potential upgrade. Managed to work in a GTX 1070 video card, a 1080 is simply not within this budget. The PSU is a pretty decent one at a pretty good price.

So you are paying almost 1000 JOD for a non-overclocking build with build problems. Here is an i7 non-overclocking build. Bumps RAM up to 16GB and adds a hard drive.
