Hello everyone, I come to you today in need of help! So basically this will be my first build ever. I have always bought prebuilts and laptops my entire life. I plan on not getting a next gen console and doing all my gaming on my PC once it is built.
The pc will be mainly playing WoW, but I plan on expanding my PC game titles and buying new games on PC and not xbox/ps. Ive put two lists of what I think would be good PC's for gaming and general use. One is a little bit more expensive than the other, and I am not sure if i should spend the bit more and go with it, or go with the cheaper one. I already have a corsair 300r windowed case which i picked up for 60 dollars on sale a while ago. And i can get a cheap copy of windows 7 from the college my girlfriend goes too. That is why they are not included in the list. I should also mention that I do not plan on overclocking right away, but down the line when i feel more comfortable and research the subject more I plan on doing it. I am open to suggestions and other builds that are cheaper or preform better within the same price range. Thanks in advance everyone!
