Q. Looking for a gaming computer, something 1500 or under. Was also wanting to hear other recommendations of what the best gaming computers that are available in the market. I also am interested in the names of computer companies or what company you consider to be the best at developing gaming computers, and their hardware.
A. The best gaming computer company is you, inc. I mean, why let someone else build it for u. Granted you may not be at that stage and may not have that confidence.
If you spend over 1k on a computer, I think you're over paying.
As far as companies - hardware is pretty much generic, at least for major manufacturers of average computers. If you want good names, you have to pick the parts yourself, and unless you build it yourself, you usually don't have much control over which components you get.
Right now, intel has the best upper mid / high end processors (and I say this as someone going to be building an AMD gaming pc very soon - but its a $~500 parts machine that would retail for ~900-1000 - though I do recycle a few unimportant parts from an older pc).
Asus makes the best videocards (for Nvidia Models and AMD models, they do it all with some massive heatsink technology) and the best motherboards (though I wouldn't have an issue with an MSI or a Gigabyte motherboard, and Sapphire makes good reference AMD cards). Cases are a matter of choice and taste. Kingston and crucial make reliable ram. Seasonic, Corsair, and (some) Antec PSUs are some of the best.
Even with so called gaming computers you're stuck with a few mystery components and a lack customization over anything (like choice of video card(s) ).
So yeah, if you want the best, you have to build it yourself. Because no one is going to build it for you to your budget. There's at least 40% mark-up, if not more (though you do save on Windows if you choose to buy from a big company).

How to build a decent gaming computer for under 900$?
Q. I've never built a computer before so any information websites or anything would be awesome. I want to build a computer that's good for gaming and doing just normal stuff on it too.
A. First, I would recommend visiting NCIX on Youtube; they literally teach you everything there is to know about a computer. Their host Linus Sebastian is a very funny guy; I like him and I`m pretty sure you will like him too.
Go on Youtube and search for NCIX or Linus Tech Tips.
They have a website that you can go on to buy computers, and they literally have all different kinds of flavours in many different price ranges. They`re fantastic.
You could research yourself and try to find parts and put them together. Here`s a list of what you would need for a Gaming computer:
-Processor (Intel or AMD)
-Motherboard( Make sure the motherboard`s socket corresponds to the processor)
-Graphics Card (if you want a gaming computer then this should be a big priority)
-RAM (4GB of RAM is perfect for gaming, but I would get more if I multitask a lot too)
-Power Supply (Don`t cheap out on this component. This can damage a lot of things if it was built very poorly. Power supplies can also catch on fire in rare cases if they are poorly made).
Hard Drive (I would get two of them; one dedicated for the Operating system and one dedicated for storage.)
-CD-DVD ROM Drive
-A computer case
-all the accessories, such as mouse, keyboard, case fans etc.
Good Luck
