Hey, I'm looking into building a new computer, all I need is the Tower and monitor that can play new release games. I have no preference for brands I just want something as high-spec as it can go for that price tag.

Spend a tad more and get a better performing system overall. Try not to skimp on cpu/ram, as it's more convenient to add additional hard drives etc later on.

How much would you consider to be a tad more?
Probably the 1200 mark.
What would you recommend me do with the extra 200 dollars?
Just a beefier GPU really.
