Buying a pre-built gaming pc

[Oblivion1329]

So recently it sold my xbox 1 and now after watch videos on youtube about pc gaming i'm hooked!!!
But i'm not some one who understands all the tech talk (gh.z , ram , ssd, fps,overclocking). none of it makes sense to me and no other site i have been able to provide all the answer i need so i'm saying screw it and just going to buy a pre-built but i need to know if this pc is good to play aaa games on medium to high settings i currently have $1200 to spend .

AAA games on medium @ 1080p 60fps, maybe.
That CPU is a bit on the weak side and may struggle on some AAA games.

what aaa games would suffer ( i'm not interested in bf1, overwatch,cod,darksouls 3 ) i only want the opyion to play them .I'm looking more towards indie games

BF1 is an example of one that would have trouble, OW and DS3 aren't exactly AAA, so no trouble there, COD not sure.
Indie games aren't AAA games so it'd run them more reliably.

I would go with something like this:

Biggest downside is it ocmes with a B350 chipset, but the positive is you can still OC with it to 3.9/4.0.

If you are willing to spend a tad more, I would recommend this:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/CYBERPOWERPC-Gamer-Master-GMA5000W-Gaming-Desktop-PC-AMD-Ryzen-5-1600X-Processor-16GB-Memory-2TB-Hard-Drive-240GB-Solid-State-Drive-Windows-10-Home-M/55721496

The biggest downside again for both of these "premade" builds are they will skimp somewhat on the Power Supply and Motherboard. Specifically with these two its the chipset that they have chosen. But as you are a new to the PC gaming world and looking for a quick plug and play option for around 1200.00, I would highly recommend the second of the two. Will play any game comfortably at max settings up to 2k resolution/144hz.

Also last but not least, don't forget that if your converting to PC for competitive games you will want to invest 300+ on a monitor.

Alrighty don't buy prebuilt unless you want to waste money on purpose https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds this link if you read the whole page will teach you everything you need to know about building and buying parts for a sick gaming pc.
will get you a good computer just buy all of this stuff. If you don't understand what that stuff is just google what is ram what is a gigahert etc. Please don't buy a prebuilt they are bad and will waste your money. When you buy all of these parts look up how to build a gaming computer and you will find so much info it is so easy you just have to try a little harder.
