Hello,
My Aunt is wanting to get my 12 year old cousin a gaming computer for Christmas but does not know much about computers. She asked me to help her find him a gaming computer but is somewhat worried about how expensive these can be. I figured it would probably be easiest for her to buy a computer that is already built so they won't have to worry about assembling it. Could anyone suggest a mid range gaming computer that comes pre-built and has room for upgrades?
Thanks.

Get the r9 270x and the pentium g3258 (if you want it to be cheap). If you want something beefier i'd recommend the gtx 970 and any intel core i5 (3rd gen or newer). Tell me your budget and i'll find a good pc for you. But the price can be somewhere between 400 - 3000 (unless you're rich and can afford the Titan supercomputer XD)

They have decent pc's that are easily upgraded. Make sure your at least getting a 500w power supply so you can do a gpu upgrade if you wish.

Personally I would go to the configurator. Start with the Core i5 or Core i3 pc and then up the graphics card as high as your budget can afford as a starting point... personally I build my own but if I was to be looking for a pre build that is where I would go for value. You can also go to an amd cpu if your budget is tight.

I would shoot for a minimum of a r9 270 on the graphics card as the graphics card will make the most impact on gaming. It really matter how much you want to spend though.
