I play quite a few computer games, mainly Big Fish type games and am looking for the best computer to do this. I'm hopelessly untechy ( but not totally brainless) so I need something fairly straightforward and not too complicated. All I know is I need something with good cooling and something that'll let it play fast and not freeze up. Can you help please?

You can play most Big Fish type games just fine with any laptop, so it indeed will be simple. You would have more than enough power even with an APU, which is basically a CPU and graphics card on the same chip, and usually is a very good value. Anyway, enough with the tech talk, here is an example combination:

Maintaining your computer will be just as important as finding the right hardware, so be sure to get a good anti-virus software and scan it regularly for viruses/malware/obama, that sort of stuff.

First thing, do you want to buy a premade system or make your own

buying a premade is easier (although not by much) but will cost more for the reletive specs of one you would make yourself

Making your own computer would be cheaper although would require you to assemble and set it up (tutorials on this are everywhere and these days its almost like building a house out of lego)
