Okay, so i'm looking to get into PC gaming as console is kinda getting boring (I like the mods for PC)
I was going to build my own but need more research done before i do. Are pre-builts any good? I was looking at something from here [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Or what would you recommend? I Appreciate the input, Thanks

Prebuilts are 99% of the time very bad for the money, and cheap out on important parts like the PSU, case, motherboard etc.

What is your budget? Do you need any peripherals? What will the PC Be used for?

My budget is around 1,200USD -1,500USD. But i'd be using it for games such as Grand Theft Auto, Fallout 4, Skyrim and so on. Any suggestions?

"Do you need any peripherals?"
Need the answer to this. Monitor/keyboard/mouse/headset? If you don't need a monitor, what monitor will you be using, or at least, what resolution will you be running at?

Also, will you overclock? Any preferred aesthetic/colour scheme? Do you have a preference for GPU(AMD/Nvidia) for any reason, or not bothered?

I do need a new keyboard, mouse and a monitor. But no, i will not be overclocking as i don't want the risks. But honestly, Color doesn't matter. But as for GPU, i'm open for any suggestions

With a budget like that you would definitely want to build your own.

You could get a smaller SSD or cheaper PSU if you wanted to squeeze in a 980 Ti, although it isn't needed for 1080p as the 970 would be perfectly fine.

1080p monitor does not belong in a $1500 budget, at all. The R9 Nano will perform closer to the 980Ti than the 970, and is priced pretty much right in the middle of the two. Plus, you have XFire support so you can easily add a 2nd at any point.

An i5 and an R9 Nano will out-perform an i7 with a GTX 970.

But sure, here we go;

i7 and R9 Nano, with XFire support.

Didn't mean to downvote, my bad.
