Still, if you arent going to inform yourself and look at a price tag you will screw yourself. Its not hard to google any specification you see and find results that call it shit or good.

Yea, But for a PC I just wanna play can't I upgrade it at a later date? I mean honestly I don't know much about PC's so building one isn't a good idea and to get someone to build it for me at least in my local area is unlikely.

Thanks for the replies, I think ima get it just to play the games I play the most and that is Modded Minecraft and occasionally World of Tanks. Then upgrade it my next paycheck

Look, if you want to spend money on a pre-built then by all means do it but you will be spending more for less. This is also the case for upgrading, you'll be spending more just for upgrades when you could have built a PC in the first place and spent more for more and not have to upgrade for a while.

How do you think three of us started building PC's. We didn't think "oh we'll get a pre-build because we'll balls it up in someway." If you don't bother to look into it and learn then you'll be stuck with buying pre-builds. Yes you may get something wrong when building a PC, everybody does but it's the chance you take for getting more for your money. Like I said before, if you look into it and watch a few video to get an understanding of how it's done then it shouldn't take you no more than 3 hours to put a rig together and working.

You've probably never met me then, 3 hours of watching videos isn't gonna get me into making a PC. I've tried in the past and it has failed horribly. I just don't wanna bother with building one, Yes it's cheaper and yes I'll get more for my money but it isn't worth the hassle to me. The PC I currently have I tried upgrading the graphics card in it and what do I get? I beeping noise and a black screen when putting the card in. I just hate messing with PC's

If that is the way that you feel about building PCs, so be it. Buy a pre-built PC. Some people just can't be bothered to build one themselves, but buying pre-built is a waste of money in terms of what you get for what you are paying for.

But, good luck on running the games that you want with the PC you end up with, OP.

Thanks man, And yea I'm one of those who just can't build one, As said though I'm sure if I wanted to I could have one built for me by a company or something but I can't be bothered by the wait time. The games I have currently that I actually play are Modded Minecraft and World of Tanks, The games that were listed was the games I was gonna purchase so I could play then with my friend cause he's getting this exact PC next Thursday but yea I'll probably end up upgrading it in a few weeks or so. Thanks for the reply AR15
