I am building a gaming pc for my BF and need some help since I don’t know that much about computers. My friend that does recommended me that I get these parts and he will put the pc together. So my Question is what are some changes that you would make it (if any) to make this a better gaming computer while staying in my price range of $1200. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE:
