I know just a litle about pc gaming. Not too much. I've actually been looking to maybe buy a premade pc. Ive seen so many different ones that i'm overwhelmed. Say..i wanna play ark..minecraft..battlefield..call of duty (other fps), gta v, dayz...eventually enough for the oculous rift..not really for sure if ill play them all..but i want something capable of running them all very smoothly. No lag..no issues online..all that. Is there a reasonable priced pc that can do all of this...at about the 600-800 price range? Ive seen many pcs on best buys site..could someone point me in a direction? What are some requirements that most pcs need? I know a good graphics card would be the start. Like i said..i dont know very much..so help would be appreciated.
Wanna get into PC Gaming. Where can i buy a premade pc? (Help and suggestions needed)

You are actually looking at about $1000 to be able to play those games. And you get the best bang for your buck if you build it yourself.

I added an SSD drive that comes up to almost $1100
If you buy this online somewhere you are probably gonna be well over $1200.

Thanks man. I'm gonna check that out. Gonna look into it more.
Now what is the Solid slate drive for? Sorry ive seen this also but not sure what for?
Instead of installing your OS onto a standard hard drive, you install it (and a few programs) onto the SSD. You re-map your user folders (music, pics, docs, etc.) onto a standard HDD for more storage. SSD's are all flash based storage, which means the read and write speeds are much faster than a standard HDD. Also, there are no moving parts that can fail on you (but SSD's still fail from time to time).
These days with the price of SSD's being so cheap it's worth it to include one for the boosted performance.

I am also planning to build my on rig. This list of your looks good and would not spent so much that results would be good. It will run lot of games for sure. Can you show us some pictures of your rig with those list of items you mention. I wonder how it looks like.
