Tips for buying a gaming PC?

Thinking about making the switch sometime later this year. Maybe even not until mid-to-late 2020. I'll still maintain a console (likely PS), but I think I'll have a PC in place of whatever console Microsoft releases next. Thing is, haven't owned a desktop in ages, and I'm thinking about getting a mid-level gaming PC or putting one together on my own and using a TV setup with a gaming controller. Any tips for which route would be best? Which manufacturers are the best for graphics cards and what not? Reasonable price ranges for parts?

    Build one yourself. You'll get a higher quality PC for around the same price you'd get for a subpar prebuilt PC. Especially since you seem like you want a gaming PC. [url=https://pcpartpicker.com/]Pcpartpicker[/url] is an excellent starting point. You can pick and choose which parts you want, and it'll list all parts that are compatible with each other. I would reccomend getting a higher quality motherboard, so it won't be outdated for a while (as everything will be attached to it). There are plenty of guides on YouTube with a step-by-step process of putting all the parts together. I forgot which video I used when I built mine, but it shouldn't be too hard for you to find something. At most, it should take you about an hour to two hours to actually put everything together (3 if you're me not knowing what the hell you're doing on your kitchen table). Just be mindful of some parts, as you don't want to touch a rug while handling them!
