Have you considered building your own PC ? And what are your most played games ?

Here is a comparable system you can build yourself. Saves you 100$. You can upgrade to a better GPU for better performance.

This system will meet all your gaming needs on high settings for several years. Overclockable and expandable for future upgrades. Quite case design.

I don't trust myself to put a PC together, this is my first PC and i have no clue what components would be needed or how to assemble them. I usually play RPG's and shooters.

Its not tough. Everything you need will come in the boxes. Look up your specific parts and watch a video or 2 before they arrive. Ground yourself before you start and you'll be fine. There is a good tutorial on here for system building. I will link it if I find it before you do!

Here it is!

thanks for that link, I'm still not sure though. I've heard someone describe building them as a slightly harder Lego set. Do you know how long they take to build and would it take longer since i'm an amateur?

My first took 3 hrs. I have gotten it down to about 45mins depending on the case. Getting the wiring set up nice is the worst part.
You arnt in the NorCal area are you?

Not hard, just time consuming to get everything ran nice.

I think i might go with a pre built one, i don't have any money to waste now so if i break something, i'll be screwed. Do you know of any good companies who sell computers? Or is the one i included in the original post good enough?

The one you selected in the beginning will get you started. The 750ti is minimum for high settings. Maybe add a second down the road if the case/Mb/psu allow it.

Thanks for helping me, i've decided to get that one and maybe upgrade some of the parts later. Also do you have any suggestions for any cheapish monitors?

Asus has some good budget monitors.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PsD323 I recommend this one. Need speakers or a headset though. Monitor speakers are crap at this price point.
