Okay so I'm looking to get a gaming pc for my first time and I'm stuck between whether I get one pre-built with the parts I want or buy the same parts separately and make it myself. The website I'm using is ironside. They have all the parts that I want and they come with a warranty and they build it. But my question is it even worth paying the little extra it. And my final question is this a good pc setup for like playing Rust, csgo and other games along the line

Thank you for your time it's much appreciated. I some how made this twice and I don't know how to delete one of them so sorry
 
I have barely any knowledge to this I just learned all this so far in 3 days and this is to the best of my knowledge. So if there's anything you can direct me towards that will help alot. That's just all the parts I found and thought were good and were compatible on the website Ironside
 
Everything comes to around 2,200. I don't really have a budget but I'd like to keep it reasonable for a nice pc. Just looking to get good parts and play on 1080p with above 60fps and have a nice pc that will last. And I have no clue what coffee lake is?
 
As most of these things just seem like numbers to me right now. I have no clue what path I should go with. I can always just order the parts and build it myself. What is the wiser choice to go with
 
For your need 1080p 60FPS:

As cheap as that is I want to be able to have some nice parts incase I want to upgrade and with the parts I found I feel like I could get more opportunities later on. I want to be able to play on 1080 most of the time but have kick ass fps

Okay makes much more sense now, last couple of questions hopefully. Should I get the cheap 20 dollar cpu cooler or go with the 50 on I put originally? Second what will a better motherboard do? And what's the difference in windows 10 and window 10 "pro"
