I'm thinking about making the switch from console gaming to PC gaming, but I'm a little unsure what I should do.

I'm not very tech savvy, so I'm a little nervous about buying all the hardware and then sticking it into an empty tower (I don't know what I'm doiiing!)

I was wondering if it would be best to just buy a pre-made gaming PC or is putting all the parts in and making your own build from the ground up easy?

I have $800 US Dollars to spend and I don't need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.

Would an $800 computer (built myself or per-built) be more powerful than the new Xbox One?

Thanks

An $800 computer will run better than any console, obviously.

Building your own computer is very easy if you know what you are doing and have some time and patients to do it properly. Look up a couple of tutorials and you'll be fine to build one. It's like lego, kinda. Delicate lego. 80% of it is just plugging stuff in (seating the CPU into the socket, pugging the GPU into the PCIe x16 slot)

Building your own PC will always be better than buying one. With building your own pc you know exactly what's going into it and you do it to your standard of work, not a machine's. Like I said on your last post, you'll get better quality building it yourself than you will from Newegg because they're just in it for the money.
