Advice For Gaming Rig

[nerdxvana]

Hi,
I'm looking to build a beginner gaming rig with a budget of 1.2k including peripherals (monitor,keyboard,OS etc).

I'm also looking to upgrade the parts in the future. This is to just get me started.
Might invest more on graphic card as well.


Any kind advices?

Thanks!
