I would like to start off by saying I'm new to this site, and I have never even posted on a forum before. I used to be a diehard PC gamer back in the glory days of UT, Rainbow6, half-life and so on..I went console for years, then wasted $700 on a Acer Aspire 5750g, which was a bitter sweet experience for me, sweet because I discovered Arma 2, and bitter because after a few months of arma2 all nighters my thermal paste wasted away and my laptop slowly became useless for gaming. I had a PS4 for a bit which only left me unsatisfied and wanting more out of life (now i understand what my ex girlfriends were talking about) So here i am ready to delve back into the wonderful world of PC gaming...unfortunately, my wallet is a little worse for wear, so i turn to you fine tech savvy harbingers of gaming excellence for a bit of advice on a subject very new and intimidating to me. I just want to play arma3 at a enjoyable framerate, maybe a little dayZ, and definitely GtaV if possible. I can only spend $600-610, anything over that and my wife is sure to lock up the cookie jar for a bit, and there is nary a substitute to be found in gaming land for those wonderful cookies i do so desire. Also, since i am new to all this, is it advisable to attempt building a PC? Is it easy or could i destroy the fragile components with the slightest fumble? Is there soldering involved or do i simply screw and snap the pieces together? Also, i like shiny things, so a case i could trick out with lighting is preferable. thanks in advance for any suggestions!! 
p.s. I have seen the ibuypower rigs in my budget with 3.8ghz CPUs..are they too good to be true. Can I really run arma3 maxed out on a $600 pre-built ibuypower rig and save myself some time??
