My girlfriend is moving away to college and im making a shit load of money. Im interested in games on the computer but im a rookie on PCs. I will be playing games like DayZ, Minecraft, RS, WoW and any others I like. I prefer Intel over AMD just from previous experiance.
So I need help.. Which computer and desktop would you guys recommend? Or maybe even a package. Any good keyboard/ mouses? I don't really have a budget but I'd prefer under $800 for everything but I'm up for options.
Thanks so much for any help I get!

Austin Evans is a known PC Building youtuber, i built this computer in the video and it is amazing i play watch dogs and titanfall on High with 40-50 fps solid. if you dont like AMD then you can change the processor but AMD is built for gaming (not saying intel is not) but yeah i reccomend this pc then you will have some left over cash for games!

Mine goes with overnight a bit, instead of buying a computer, (Unless you have $1000 to spend on a alienware laptop thats good as a desktop XD) you should buy parts so you knw you'll have the experience you need insteading of getting a computer online and hoping it runs those games smooth, so just buy parts and build your own or send it in to aa shop to build it

Liquid cooling is a waste and makes you're computer sound like a train liquid cooling is really only needed when you are going to be pushing you're computer to the limits for example: Rendering high quality videos for hours on end, while you're editing something. Not saying that's all liquid cooling is good for but for a gaming pc its not needed unless you have extra money to blow.

I disagree with calling liquid cooling a waste, it isn't necessary for sure, but it is far from a waste. Also, I would strongly advise OP to build your own computer, as you are just wasting money going with a pre-built one.

This is just an idea, I dont consider myself an expert when it comes to building pc's, however this should be able to take anything you can throw at it (consider upgrading the graphics card to a 280)
