A good gaming computer?

Q. i want to get a computer for gaming. my budget will be about 600-800$. i would like to play games like arma, possibly not the highest setting, but atleast play it on medium settings. I also play games like bioshock infinite and would like to play that on atleast medium settings, but if I can get anything that can run most games smoothly for about 600-800$ I'll be fine.

A. Any online service that will build you a computer is going to ask for a labor charge, and may even have a markup on parts. It'd be better to buy wholesale parts and build your own. That way you can even pick the specs you want on your system and build up to that. There is even the possibility to upgrade parts bit by bit over time, much better than replacing a whole factory-built system,

I'd say do some research, it's not as daunting as you would think. Get on Newegg.com and read up on computer components, then buy pieces that fit together and you'll have yourself a rig!
