Currently looking to buy/build a gaming computer from tiger direct for around 500-600$. I already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I was wondering if I should buy one of their pre-built gaming pc's
(such as http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8967433&CatId=114)
or if I should buy the parts and let them put it together (I think they charge quite a lot for building it for you). The games I would be mainly playing are Cs:go, H1z1, and some MMO's. I already have a ps4 so I won't need to run games like bf4. If someone could give me some advice or recommended a build in my price range that would be greatly appreciated.
