Buy a Dell. Then overtime, upgrade parts to improve it for gaming. |

Or better idea is to build your own.. Not all that hard...And its much better than getting a built one anyway.

I'd buy an i3 with 300-500 with a 4GB RAM, Radeon VC, 350 GB would be enough. People wouldn't really need 1 TB for gaming, nor need the best VGA out there since all games run at a good rate... |

I would recommend building your own rig, but there's really not much you can do in your price range. Actually, you could probably make a decent rig for around $500. Built one around that price range a year or two ago and it was pretty sufficient for the games I played.

Definately, can't stress this enough: BUILD YOUR OWN. With $800.00, you could play Far Cry 3 easily, and do any other PC tasks easily. |

£800's not enough! For a good gaming PC anyway. With 300 - 500 as your price range, you won't be able to build that great of a gaming PC. You could build one, it could probably run good graphics as well, but I'd recommend saving up more, till atleast 1000, though I'm not sure how much parts are in the US. But if your still looking to buy one, I watched a video a while back on JackFrags building a gaming PC with just £300. He even tests it at the end, if you want to watch that. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh455l3348s |

If you don't know how to build a computer, you can always go to your local hardware store and they might assemble it for you at a cost.

You don't need $800+ to have a good gaming rig, really. If you're fine playing games on high/medium settings a $500 computer can run everything besides the occasional glorified tech demo (I'm looking at you, Crysis 3). Note: I define a "Good" rig as something that can run the currently 'high end' games at the time with medium settings at 40+ fps. Running (literally) everything on max settings 1080 60fps is not a good rig, its a behemoth monster machine.

What...? Each part you get normally comes with warranty... If they're on budget, you should probably suggest something AMD- AMD doesn't have the best cpu out there, but they have good CPUs for those on a budget.
and I'm going to assume you mean GPU instead of VGA...? |
