Get a [b][i][u]DESKTOP[/u][/i][/b] with a fast procesor and a big screen... It would help with games with big graphics like [b][u]Payday 2[/u][/b] and [u][b]Skyrim[/b][/u].

All Depends on your Budget. How much do you want to spend? Best Bang for Buck Graphics cards out at the moment are from AMD imo , the R9 *** series are very powerful . CPU , again , AMD more bang for buck (A top end AMD CPU are quite cheap and can run games Perfectly , but I have not used them in years, just going by what I've read) . Intel Chips like the "i5's" or "i7's" are great. I still have an old I7 920 (@ 3.8 Ghz) and can still run games like BF4 in Ultra @ 50 -100 FPS on 64 player maps ,( but the R9 290X helps achieve that ... ) Try not to get stuck into the Fanboy -ism of PC gaming , the whole "Nvidia vs AMD" is almost as bad as the Console war between "Sony and Micro soft" (Almost) lol At the end of the day , Choose the best you can afford . If you spend wisely ,the more you spend the longer it will be before you want to upgrade. Both Nvidia and AMD offer great Products for Both GPU and CPU. Do a bit of research , decide what camp you wanna go with , Nvidia/AMD or mix it up between the Two , tell us how much you want to spend and I'll post some links. Building your system is half the fun ... hope it goes well :)

Here's some better advice. Forget about PC gaming and gaming in general. Do this instead. Lift weight --------------> Acquire aesthetics -----------> Get the girls

What's your budget? Do you want your budget to cover the cost of the OS and peripherals too? [u]Don't buy a pre-built[/u], as it will cost more than it should.

We need a budget. But anyway, these are certain brands/products you should buy regardless: [b]GPU [/b]- Asus (DirectCU II) or EVGA (ACX) [b]Motherboard [/b]- Asus, ASRock, MSI or Gigabyte (I could recommend you the exact motherboard if i knew what chipset you were going for) [b]RAM [/b]- Corsair, G.Skill or Kingston [b]SSD [/b]- Samsung 840 EVO (Get this regardless of your budget) [b]HDD [/b]- Western Digital WD Black or Blue (Black is faster... Pun intended... Again, get this regardless of your budget) [b]CPU Cooler[/b] - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (Best performing CPU fan. Get this regardless of the budget, unless you want watercooling) [b]PSU [/b]- Seasonic or Corsair [b]Case [/b]- Anything with good airflow Can't help much without a budget. :/

Getting the best PC experience possible becomes really expensive fast. You really need yourself a budget. For example, I put together what I would consider "the best PC experience" without going totally overkill: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Ml9x[/url]. Price is 7168$ (originally 6587, but I realized the 4K monitor would probably benefit from the 6GB VRAM of the Titan). You really need a budget.

Just buy prebuilt. Much Easier and you will make at least 20 people on the site rage.

If you give me your budget I can put together some parts for you. However, if you've never built one and you feel you don't have enough experience to build one yourself, there's nothing wrong with buying a decent pre-built. It's a bit more expensive, but it's a good start for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience. There are people here (and pretty much everywhere) that get pretty grumpy when they hear the word [i]pre-built[/i], but it's not about them, it's about you. I learned most of what I know from taking apart and replacing parts in pre-builts, and I wouldn't take that back if I could. If I were still a PC newbie, what I would do is buy a pre-built with decent specs but no graphics card. Then I'd buy a graphics card separately and install it.

I'm not a PC gamer but there are a bunch of rigs that you'll be linked to. While building your own will be cheaper than buying a build with the same specs, it in no way will be cheap. You're looking to spend somewhere between $1000-$2500 depending on how well you want it to run.

http://www.logicalincrements.com/ is a great place to start. This gives you an example build for whatever your budget is. If you stick to this chart, you can't really go wrong. http://pcpartpicker.com/ is a great place to put together builds and compare prices on parts if you want to get the lowest price possible on individual parts. I usually buy from Amazon and Newegg for their customer service, but there are many good sites out there to buy parts from.
