[pauldavidlozano234]

So I will be building a system for my cousins. Instead of a console, I decided to let them go with a PC since it's just better. I wont be adding hundreds of dollars. Just $ 650 for the PC with the OS and $ 750 with peripherals. Here are the games they will play:

• 
  Battlefield 4
  GTA V
  Far Cry 4
  Half-Life 2
  Portal 2
  Assassin’s Creed IV
  The Walking Dead 2
  Borderlands 2
  Crysis 3
  The Elder Scrolls V
