Noob wanting some help

[tbanga92]

Hi all! I have been a pc gamer for quite some time but only using this shitty computer my parents bought me 5 years ago, I have been looking into buying a new computer and have found something that seems cheap and good but not sure whether I am getting a good deal or not.. I play world of warcraft mainly but am looking to get into elder scrolls online when it comes out and battlefield 4.

YOu want an i5 not an i7. They perform identical in games. the i7 is a waste of money.

This is very overpriced for what it is.

The motherboard is VERY low end.

You can build a WAY better computer for the same or less money.

Thanks I would build it just have no idea how lol, is it easy enough that I would just be able to do it with a guide online?

yes, it really is that easy. you could argue installing windows is the hardest part.
It's like a children's toy, all of the pieces only fit in one place. if you want to make cables look nice and stuff it may take a bit, but it's not necessary.

It is basically like legos. Very straight-forward. I can help you select the correct parts so you don't have to worry about not getting the most for your money.

Hmm I might look into it then, thanks for the help!

This is a mess.

K series CPU with a non-overclocking motherboard.
Said motherboard is very low end.
RAM is not compatible because it is 1.65v.
Lots of wasted money in the case.
