I was thinking about building a PC, but I was wondering if it is actually worth it. I was going to use it to play a couple games on, and normal stuff you do on a computer. (Obviously lol). I wouldn't want to spend too much. Maybe $500-$600.

Yes building a PC is worth it, it gets you better performance for the money compared to a pre-build.

Do you need mouse, monitor & keyboard?

I was thinking about this, however i came to the conclusion that i could buy a PS4 for a third of the price, and that would last me a good 4 years until the ps5 came out. The good thing about getting a ps4 is, every game in which comes out is compatible with your console. However after building a PC you will have to keep upgrading your components every year to keep up with the games which costs a lot... To conclude; If you want to play games on the best graphics but pay substantial amounts extra, build a PC. To have a one off payment and play games on good graphics, get the ps4.

Yes, get a PC. Althought you could geta console like JM said. On PC servers are stronger, games are cheaper, there's more games, you can do way more than just gaming, gameplay is better, keyboard and mouse is more accurate that thumbsticks. Honestly you'll love it.

Lol, Upgrade every year... I don't think so.

When newer games come out that are more demanding you simply tone the graphics down if you want to achieve 60fps if you don't have the funds to upgrade and would still look better than a console. Did I mention games are cheaper on PC than a console??

They aren't for me lol. On Steam BO2 still costs $60.. So does MW3.
