I'm going to be selling my mac today and i want to purchase a gaming computer

Also, i don't want to build it, i want it pre-built.

What i want it for:
Gaming
Designing
Editing
Youtube

My budget right now is about $520.

Link me good builds from amazon or any other place
 
You're going to get a really bad setup, especially if it is a pre build.

Building a PC is literally like putting together a puzzle.

If you're still firm on not building your own, buy the parts and pay some computer store to build it for you.

I know it's not a hard thing to do but there are so many things that can go wrong if i mess up or if the part breaks while shipping.

If you take proper precautions there is a very good chance nothing will go wrong.

Watch a youtube video or two on how to build one, there's so many guides out there.

Yea, i have seen a couple of tuts. Another reason i don't want to build it is because as soon as i get it i'm going to want to use it

Building will take an hour or so.

For your budget pre-build is a horrible option, you'll be getting very outdated and low tier specs
 
I would recommend you just save your money until you get $1,500-$2,000 then build a monster.

You wouldn't be able to get an incredible build with your budget, just be patient and wait until you gather up some more money.
 
my friend tried building a pc once, put his usb 3.0 ports in backwards and fried his motherboard he ended up getting an i7 pc from costco with 16gb ram and bought a 750ti. works great.
 
LOL, a $500 prebuilt for gaming and editing? You can barey even build a nice custom at your pricr range.

Save up, and don't buy a prebuilt. I have been custom building since I was 12.

I am sorry to say but I have to agree.

If you want a good computer I recommend getting at least $300-500 more, but if you're fine getting a mediocre PC that can 'play' games, then go right ahead and buy a shitty prebuilt for $500. I recommend buying an iBuyPower prebuilt, they usually cost $200-500 and play mc at a solid 5-20 fps. Gotta love that powerful GT 610 under the hood

all jokes aside, if all you're doing is gaming just buy a next gen console and save the $100 to buy games

You don't need a 1.5k monster PC.

Twelve just save up a good $800-900 dollars, you'll get something that will last you a good while and do what you wanna do on it. As for prebuilts in the 500 dollar range, that will get you a shitty prebuilt dell machine at best.
 

I already have an xbox one. Just want a decent PC for CS:GO

to be honest, CS:GO can run on a potato because it uses the source engine from like 2007 lol
