This is my situation. I am a 13 year old kid living in the UK. I only just got into building my own PC and I really need help. Can someone give a list of parts that would complete the computer? That includes the OS aswell. I would prefer windows 8 but I don't know if that costs extra aswell or if it comes with the computer or what? I'm really new to this and have no clue about the OS and everything. I know how to build them, I just don't know about the software part of it. :??:

I really appreciate it and the games I will be playing are a whole bunch of different games (Amnesia, Unturned, Garry's Mod, Minecraft, Truck Simulator 2 and a bunch of other random games for my YouTube channel. I will also need to edit with the computer keep in mind. I'm currently using a laptop thats 2 years old and its in its death stage, I will be purchasing these parts after christmas cuz thats when I'll have the money. When I try to run most of those games on my laptop they are fine but when I record it just lags out. Also the laptop has a lot of problems anyway such as missing a bunch of files and broken USB ports.

Careful with the builds people suggest OP. If you say a build you like tell us so we know what to fix on it because not all of them will be perfect
