What gaming computer should I buy?

Had no idea where to post this thread but...

I have around $15.000 and I want to buy a very amazing gaming computer where I can run my games such as Watch Dogs in max settings without having lags.

Let me know if you know a good gaming computer.
Please for the love of god, build your own computer. Even if you do not know how, take the risk, take about 5 hours of your day and follow some videos on how to build it. It is very easy, and it is actually very hard to screw up so bad something breaks.

What's the difference between buying a computer and building one?

Buying a computer, your buying it all put together. These are also called "pre builds". The problems with prebuilds is
1) Companies throw in low quality components to maximize their profits
2) Prebuilds have terrible I mean terrible price to performance ratios. There are $1000 prebuilds that can run games on low, but a $1000 prebuild can run games on the highest setting.

Computer Hardware

Post a thread in that section, including your budget and what you will be using the build for.

You can build the most powerfull one and is also cheaper and I don't think you find the most powerfull pc online or else the price will be ridicelous.

Everything to be honest. You'll see most people with PC's for gaming built it themselves. Simply cuz it's cheaper, you gain knowledge 'n stuff! I'm not an expert so I don't know much , I just know it's much better!

Trust me, I have 0% experience to. Read my post about where to post a thread, and then watch this video, and watch it again as your are building.





My VERY first build took me 3 hours.
You can make a gaming computer for alot less than 15 grand!
My first computer took 3 hours total between physically assembling, installing and debugging loose cables and such


Also I didn't watch any videos or read guides.
Everything fits together very neatly

I'd say custom builds vs store bought will save you loads of money imo.
If you see a very nice pre-built one, try to figure out its components and build it via this website.
There you can see a collection of the whole setup and what it would cost if you build it yourself.
Usually this ends up being cheaper and you know what you ordered is what it is.

If you truly wish to have a gaming computer, you need to know how its built. If there are any quirks you should be able to troubleshoot, with a pre-built one, you'll have to send the whole thing back to the retailer to get it repaired. This can possibly take weeks or months losing your whole computer, instead of a broken component (which you might be able to temporary easily replace).

So if you're serious about this, go get a custom build. There are a lot of people who are willing to help you out, to find out what suits your budget and your needs.
If you have $15,000 to spend, why not just go to one of them sites that you pick all your components and they build it for you?
I would if I had $15k to spent haha.
