I'm just a beginner, I never play PC games! But I built myself a new desktop and it is a gamer pc supposedly. I just want to explain what it is. Full tower= Cooler Master Haf 932 Advance, Mobo= MSI Z77 Mpower (Military Class 3), CPU= Intel i5 3570 3.4G, GPU= NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650, Sound Card= Asus Xonar D2X, Keyboard= Logitech Wireless K800 and Mouse= Logitech wireless anywhere.
Can you tell me how can I start to play games on this PC. Can I use what I have and I like action movies, so I would like action games, would it be to hard for me to handle has a beginner?
I do not know which keys on the keyboard that you are supposed to use for playing games?
Forgive me for my lack of knowledge but I really want to learn!
Thanks Germain...

The controls vary by game, but usually the standard is related to WASD and surrounding keys, space being jump, and enter or T being chat.

It's very easy to adapt to, and if you don't think you can, many games are cross-compatible with an XBOX or other USB console controller.

One thing you'll want to learn how to do properly if you get into PC gaming is forwarding ports. There are usually 2 steps to this, through your router and through your PC firewall.

You can look up tutorials on how to do both - 99% of the time if you're encountering issues connecting to multiplayer, it's going to be your ports aren't forwarded correctly.
