Are these worth it? I will be using it for video games. I don't wanna spend another $1000 for a PC.
I have a Mac. you all probably know this, but a lot of companies do not support Mac for gaming and the virtual machines are useless, can't run any 3D online games.
I am considering to buy one of these mofo cus it's cheap but has a huge mass hard drive storage. We use this computer in school, but I honestly don't know. Only played Minecraft and Halo 1 on it.  

Core 2 Duo Is several several years old. Also it's running onboard graphics. You won't be able to run any newer games with that.

It really depends on how much you want to spend, what's your current buget for a new PC?

Pretty much all action 3D real-time online games.

Honestly man, I would go for this..

It's a decent build and will work for all the games you want.

It has a 4th gen core i5 processor, which is the latest in the core i5 CPU's.

It also has 4gigs of ram and a AMD Radeon R7 250 2GB Video card, it's pretty decent.

But, If you want to spend a little less and build it yourself, I can pick out the parts for you.

In my opinion, I wouldn't go with a laptop..It would be much harder to upgrade your parts if you ever wanted to upgrade. Go with a desktop man, it's much better in the long run.

Just IMO.

Ok thank you bro  

Screw pre-builts. You'll save more money and get better hardware if you put it together yourself. It's really not that hard to do.

I agree with this, I just built a decent PC myself and saved a **** ton of money.

but the problem is I have never done making a own custom pc before. I don't wanna get screwed and struggle with unsure steps.

You could inquire a computer repair store around you to put the parts in fro you for a small fee.

It's totally worth it in the long run.  

In 2012 I bought the following things, and it wound up being somewhere around $1200 or so:

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131701
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115072
Video Card (x2): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121446
RAM (x2): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226261
Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226236
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817121040 (From an old PC. Power supplies usually last a long time.)

Still the best computer I've ever used, and having multiple video cards / ram sticks means I won't have to worry if one device suddenly fails. It's better to make sure that your PC is built to last and not built to struggle.

There's lots of videos and tutorials online for how to assemble a PC, plus your Motherboard's manual will tell you which ports need to be connected with different devices. I learned how to do it in high school over 10 years ago just by watching friends do it and asking lots of questions. If you can figure out how to hook various types of cables up to a TV, you can build a PC.
