Hey guys, this would be my first gaming tower I've ever purchased, id like any input to tell me if this is a good starter pc that can run high end games at a solid graphic setting, its also a cheap pc so thats a bonus. Here it is! http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8433453&Sku=

BTW : my price range is around 1000-1200.

Thanks

What makes you say your not confident? Its fun and a lot of members here can vouce for just how extremly easy it is.

Its just 9 parts you plug into place. Theres only way spot for everything to go and you can save a lot of money and possibly get even better parts for a gaming rig!

Personally i buy from Newegg and Amazon only. I compare prices and see what i can get for cheaper. Sometimes my amazon prime can get me a part for cheaper

So do you still want to keep your budget at 1000$? or do you still want that same level of gaming that pc would give you for a lower price?

Its midnight got nothing better to do right now :p and always glad to help a future builder out! Ok heres the list. It says its all from different vendors but all these parts can be found on newegg or amazon. Just compare prices.

ALSO NOTE: I did not include a case in the list! Ill let you pick out your own case since thats personal opinion

NOTE #2: I do not do any builds that include Intel or AMD Video cards. Im biased towards AMD Cpus and Nvidia video cards. So if you were looking for an intel build im not the best person to help you with that :(
