I've never built a gaming desktop, or any desktop for that matter. I consider myself good with computers but have never built one myself. I was wondering if I should buy a Gaming Desktop on EBay or build one myself. Opinions on that would be great, but here are the specs on the first desktop that I saw on eBay. It costs $1,100 … the most I'm willing to spend is $1,400. I'm looking to do some gaming on 1080p monitor with high settings and I'm looking to be a hardcore gamer.
