Hey All,

I'm looking into becoming a PC gamer fairly soon, but I really don't know where to start. I know for a fact that I want a custom, or pre-build rig because I'm afraid I'll jack something up if I build it myself. Does anyone know of any legit sites that you have personally used in the past?

My budget is 3-4k

Thanks in advance

When building a pc you can` really screw something up easy. My friends father tried building a pc and dropped the motherboard on the floor and it was still fine :D
The main issue here is self trust. You need to learn to trust yourself and you will end up saving some money to buy better hardware.

How about something like this for your budget? I can't think of anything you wouldn't be able to do with this kind of build ;)

I will say, however, if you don't care about streaming/video editing/rendering/whateverthehellpeopledothesedays, you can put together a really good gaming rig for cheaper. The choice is yours :D

Also, I personally believe you should build your PC. You will learn a lot from doing that, and when it comes time to fix/upgrade/clean your machine, you won't be a lost noob. Last thing you want to do is be calling Geek Squad to help you with your thousand dollar PC lol

Do you need a keyboard, mouse, headset? What kinds of games are you interested in playing? Trying to play competitively?

you don't really need an i7 for gaming, an i5 4690k wouldn't be much of a difference.
the titan x would last you a long time and it also has the vram to play games smoothly at 4k later
if you want, you could take 2 gtx 980's and put them in sli, they're as good as 1 titan x but the extra vram would come in handy in the future.
the monitor is extremely good for a single monitor setup and some even argue that its the best you can get. if you want a triple monitor setup, you could go with that too but i wouldn't suggest a dual monitor setup unless you do video editing or if its a workstation pc or something like that.

i'm actually building my first pc soon and i learned a LOT! i'm sure you would too, although if you really hesitant about not building it yourself, i suggest you check out https://www.cyberpowerpc.com . i haven't used it as i don't live in the US but i have heard good things about it
