Gaming pc help
 

I'm really to lazy to build my own pc but my budget in mind was 300-350 $ ??
So should I get one pre-built or will it suck? I'm only 14 dunno if I'm smart enough to build one though lol

Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU processor
4+GB System RAM
6+GB free HDD (Hard disk drive) space
DirectX 9.0c compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1GB of RAM: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon HD 4890 or higher
DirectX compatible sound card

Now you can run Skyrim!
... Those're the minimal specs, anyway. Try this:
Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Intel Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor (AMD Sempron @ 2.4 GHz)
4+GB System RAM
6+GB free HDD space
Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
DirectX compatible sound card

The HDD and RAM is a bit funny, so just have more RAM and stuff.

So I'm assuming I need to build one! Anyone have any good videos I can use to help me piece them together

I'm too afraid to build one. I know I will screw it up somehow lol.

Most parts have warranty don't they?

$350 won't really get you a complete rig, let alone a good one. If you up it to maybe $450 or $500 then we can help you get started.

Agreed, try to save up more

A few months ago I decided to build a pc having no knowledge whatsoever. But right now i'm currently building it and its turning out to be really easy most of the time

waiting for fp4 with his latest in pc bargains

No idea. I've always stuck with consoles rather than gaming PCs. Except when I was younger I would play Rayman and Sonic R. I might make a gaming PC one day if I am 100% confident with what I am doing. Whenever I build something I always seems to do something wrong.

yes every part will usually have -atleast- one year warranty, unless you're buying a trash brand.

i'd go for a build but fp4 is more up-to-date with budget building so i'm kind of useless.

it's ALWAYS worth putting your own PC together. it's very easy and will save you lots of money.

300 sounds kind of cheap. Thats assuming you have a monitor already.

you have to pirate/obtain free windows to see the cost benefit at such a low budget.

at $350 I would recommend this:

Despite it having a Celeron it'll still more than adequate for games that don't use more than 2 cores. I.e. Most Free 2 Play Games, LoL, Dota 2, TF2, Minecraft.

You should be able to play pretty much all old games (from 2010 and earlier) on high/max settings at 1920x1080 at 60 FPS or higher, if not drop down to 1280x720 then you will.

This would also give you a playable setup in BF3 at least on Medium/High @ 1280x720 in 32 Player games.

Alright I have decided to wait to xmas and have my family buy me the parts so I can put them together but how about a 500$ budget? Any parts to suggest? Also will it also be able to play gta 5 on atleast medium-high

500 it is

go to http://reddit.com/r/buildapc and read everything, learn what goes into it, how to build, and see what other people are using at different price points. Any list I give you know will be useless a day or two from now as prices change a lot.

GTA 5 hasn't really been announced yet for PC so I can't even speculate.
