PC Gaming

So I'm thinking of moving to the light side and getting into PC gaming. I'm either thinking of buying a ready built PC or building one. I'm leaning towards building one as it is often cheaper and you can get better parts etc.

Can someone look at this PC and tell me what you think of it: Customise PC | AMD Quad Core Power Gaming PC 8G, 1TB, R7 260X 2GB | Welcome to XP COMPUTERS

I will be mainly playing BF4 on it and maybe some other games.

I am also thinking of getting this mouse and keyboard: PB Tech - KEYCLM3010 : COOLER MASTER Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle - Membrane Keyboard & Optical Mouse ( Keyboard with Blue LED backlight , 2000 DPI Mouse)

I am wanting to spend no more than $1200

Id change the CPU and GPU and mouse/keyboard

I am interested in the mechanical keyboard. Maybe when I've had more experience with PC gaming etc. I also wouldn't mind getting the Logitech G400 mouse.

Idk, I'll see what my money situation is after Christmas. Right now, that M&KB would be fine for me.

Like Ethereal said, if u build ur own u could and will save approx 200-300$

Build one dude. There are tons of tutorials on youtube if you're unsure of things.
Newegg actually has a pretty decent channel on building. Good luck!

I could build a PC for about $1000 that is powerful enough to run BF4 with 50+ fps?

Thats kinda what I'm wanting to get out of the PC

I've got a friend who's brother knows a lot of this and can help me build a PC

The short answer for that is yes, you can totally build a pc that can run BF4 at those frames for that money.
Keep in mind everything is about timing with pc building. Timing sales.
You'd be amazed at how much money you can save from mail in rebates on specific parts.

Mail in rebates? Elaborate please

There is a technology store that often does good deals around this time so they might have some real good deals on boxing day/ new years

Yeah, Mail in rebates. For instance, you might see a graphics card you like that might cost 250.00 with a 50.00 mail in rebate.
So in all reality you pay 200.00 for the card if you decide to take that deal. There are a lot of pc components that offer mail in rebates.
It's either that or you catch them when they're on sale. Either way if you want to save, you build.
The good prebuilt pc's are gonna run you more than you're looking to spend, and you'll be dealing with mediocrity opposed to superiority.

Ah thanks dude. Helped a lot. I'll make sure to look out for those when I'm ready to build a PC

Building yourself is 100x better than buying one.

I'd buy the parts separately and put it together yourself, save yourself some money.

I would get a better graphics card, maybe downgrade on some stuff for it.
