So I'm looking to build an affordable gaming PC. I don't know anything about building them or what the best things to get are, or even how to build them but there's YouTube for that. Right now I have a laptop that's great for general usage and decent for gaming but can't really run any newer big titles like DOOM or Dark Souls 3.
What I'd like to be able to do is run these games at maybe a medium or high graphics setting and not have frame rate be an issue.
I have about $950 right now, I can save up more but I only get 10 an hour from work. Like I said, I know nothing about what makes computers do what they do so if anyone could recommend me all the parts I'd need inside the tower, with the total cost of said parts, I'd be very appreciative.
Side note: I'm not looking for anything too fancy with all the bells and whistles.

I have looked at the steam machines and the alpha alienware, but they're about on-par with my laptop.

Graphics card benchmarks 2017: https://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu -compare output with what game needs
Search google to make sure motherboard, cpu, graphics card, etc all work together -you'll probably be directed to tom's hardware forums where you can ask a question if you don't find it already answered

Also take a look at http://www.logicalincrements.com/
They're based off an infograph that got passed around on /g/. Their prices aren't always completely up to date but are usually good ballpark estimates.
