Need Good Gaming PC for about $900 (Need Mouse / Keyboard / OS / Monitor)

[Ben Lafferty]

As I said in the title, I am in the market for a gaming pc that I can build. This is going to be my first build and was just hoping some people could give me some helpful tips on what to put inside of it!
Also need mouse/keyboard/os/monitor please!

Thanks,
Ben
