I know i cant exactly get a High end gaming pc with the tight budget im on, but i would like it to be able to play pretty much every game around at around medium maybe high settings. Was going to order a pre built one but thought, might as well try considering i cant spend much anyway and it honestly cant THAT hard...can it?? :)
 
Actually every game at high settings:
