I'm saving for a gaming PC. However, this will be my very first build and I'm not very technical. If I'm being honest, I'll likely end up asking for a build on different sites and compare what people will give me and buy the parts that are suggested. I need a budget to give them though, and I'm not certain where to cut my savings off for it.
The PC is going to be what I'll likely end up playing the majority of my games on with the PS4 for exclusives (and probably Destiny lol). I'd like to hit at least high settings on most games going into next gen. So, if you have any suggestions for a budget before peripherals, I'd be very grateful.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone that responded! Y'all have been very helpful and I've decided on my budget. I'll aim for about $1500, though the wait in saving is going to drive me near mad, ha. I'm very excited. :D

One of the benefits of PC gaming is that it scales to YOUR budget, not the other way around. Playing games on low/medium is akin to playing on a console, and you can achieve these results with £400 (or whatever the equivalent in yankeebux is). The more you spend, the better the results - but obviously spending less will mean you will have to upgrade more often down the line. £1000 (or equivalent) is enough to max out games nowadays, and this will last you past the upcoming generation of consoles too.
