Well im thinking about buying a desktop for 1050$ what i found on the internet so far is i can get m2 240 ssd, 1 terabyte harddrive, 7th generation i 7, 32 gigs ram, but no graphics card.

Also, is a better generation chip example 7th vs. 6th generation, do i go for the higher generation, or is a 6th generation if it means i get a graphics card for gaming. Not to mention were talking about galactic civilizations 3 crusades. 32 gigs of ram better if i get a seventh generation i7 processor, or is a 8th generation i7 with 16 gigs of ram for gaming. 

I heard that amd was supposed to be cheap, but when i had the above specs with the 1700 it was over 2000$. If i cant get a graphics card then i heard that amd is a better bet, but it was also supposed to be cheaper. So which amd processor.i can go for is relatively cheap. Which is better than a seventh generation i7 with integrated graphics. Thats cheaper.

My question if i had to go amd then which graphics card is better for it ati, or nvidea. I know that nvidea is a better graphics card, but i hear ati gets special treatment with amd.

Does amd still make apu chips it think that is there special gaming chips. I could use both advice, and suggestions on a 1050$ build. I also could use some parts if you could help me out. I wohld be willing to go used if i honestly could get a better deal for almost new. Is custom built cheaper than buying i heard it was not. I need help im confused.
