Hello there forums and TomHardware's parents, partners affiliates, subsidiaries, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and operational or promotional providers, I just recently joined this website and hoping for a welcoming stay.

I came here to ask, if Digital Storm company sells overpriced gaming PC's, because right now I'm looking to buy me one. (I'm in a 1,300 USD budget. System OS apart)

Most people would just refer to build my own, but the thing is, that I'm very scared of incompatibility issues arising outta of it, or if I left any important essential parts out. I'm no poser into hardware, I do very much know about the main parts of a computer and would find myself around the building guide of getting all the pieces together.

Alright, with a 13 hundred dollar budget I am looking forward to buying a gaming PC that can run at least in tweaked setting's Battlefield 4, and pay around in with mods and HD texture packs on Minecraft and several other games.

And again, it can be either from a company or a list of the computer parts with links attached.

Thank you. :p

Edit: I think I can bump up my budget to 1500 USD :3 will take longer to get though, don't matter.

I bought a PC from them a while ago; when they only charged roughly $100 over the price of parts for the system. But I've since then checked the prices about a month ago and the systems all seem a bit overpriced.

If you're scared of incompatibility issues, let one of the forum members pick out a build for you, as you will get much more for your $.
