Just letting you know that laptops and gaming are not a good mix.

If you want a decent gaming PC you should always build it yourself.

I would suggest building a nice gaming PC and then getting a relatively cheap laptop for small tasks like work and portability.

I really want to but I have no experience in building my own PC, so im a little stuck there.

You don't need experience. We can help you figure out parts. Research is the key to this. You can make a topic listing all parts that you're looking to buy and we can make sure they are compatible.

Use newegg computer building tutorials on YouTube. They are very good tutorials and I recommend that you follow them.

All parts you need is:
- A case (I would go mid-tower unless you're planning on going dual GPU)
- A CPU (Processor)
- RAM (at least 8 gigs or 2x4)
- Aftermarket cooler is needed if you're planning on OCing the processor (If you get this, also get thermal paste)
- PSU (Power Supply Unit, distributes power to all components)
- CD Drive
- Operating System install cd
- Video card
- Anti-static cord (really cheap and is essential from keeping the computer components from being fried from static electricity.)

Just research and time will pay off. By building a computer, you learn so much and you get a kick butt computer!

You don't have to build your own computer per se. Just go to a website where you can customize your computer [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Yea then I'm defiantly going to build my own computer. I think it would be really cool and knowing how to do this would be very beneficial.

Thanks you guys for all your help I'll start doing research on what I'm going to buy soon so I can start building my first computer.

I would definitely suggest the Intel Core i5 2500k for the CPU, and make sure your case large enough for your video card. The COOLER MASTER Storm Enforcer is a pretty nice case.
