Hey there,

I'm needing to replace my current PC, but I've held onto it for so long because I'm tight on cash.

What should I expect budget-wise for making a computer for streaming games such as Counterstrike, League/Smite, and random singleplayer games. I'm not looking for anything too crazy, but I need a nice balance between price and quality. I'm not really sure exactly how to go about making a build, but having a baseline price to aim for would be a good start I think. I'd just like to have a computer that just works and I can load into most games without issues. I don't need or want to run Crysis maxed out.

Also, I'm not computer-savvy..however I realize you can save a lot of money by building your own computer. Is it really as easy as everyone says it is?or do I have the potential to really screw this up. Is it worth just having someone else build it or is it just a "follow the instructions and you're fine" sort of deal?
