Yes there will be a lot of games to plough through!

I’ve always been on the outside looking-in when it comes to all the wonderful things a good PC can do for gaming. I haven’t been able to bring myself to buy a good gaming rig though. Cost is one factor, but also time (so many games so little time you know?)

However, my desktop machine of 5 years recently died. So I now have an excuse to actually look into it. Long story short: same position, Duck gave a great response, everybody wins! :D

Yeah you’re echoing what a lot of people have been telling me, £1200 is a good amount to get a solid system from what people say, and it’d be more beneficial to make my own rather than getting a Steam Machine, i’ll let you know when i’ve got one, we’ll have to see what happens in the next couple of months!

It says you’ll want at least 8 GB of RAM and a hard drive that is 1 or 2 TB (that’s terabytes) that spins at 7200 rpm or faster. You’ll also want a good GPU card (that’s for graphics) with 1 GB RAM on it. You’ll also want a good sound card and possibly good cooling, as well, as PC gamers often overclock the CPU, making it go faster than it normally would, which produces extra heat (liquid cooling is the fanciest cooling method I know of, but I don’t know if it’s necessary). I don’t know how expensive all this would be, but if it is too much, I’m sure you could get away with making some changes so your gaming PC can be more affordable.
