So long story short, im a newbie that doesnt know much about pc's but im quite intrested in them tbh, and im also interested in playing games on it, and ive a few questions for all you pros..
1) would i be better of buying a custom built one or from companies like alienware for a common example/ pros / cons of doing so
2) what should i be looking out for when buying parts / a pc , eg. Ram , ghz , yada yada
3) im not sure on what my budget is probs up to £600-750? Can go more if I really need to but yeah
Sort of just looking a brief walkthrough on what i should be doing when thinking of buying a gaming pc
thanks in advance for anyone that can help!

Do you need peripherals within budget? Will you overclock? Preferred colour scheme, if applicable? Maximum budget?

XFire support so you can easily add a 2nd GPU at any point. Nice case. Nice, efficient, modular PSU. SSD for OS and a couple of games/programs. You can OC the CPU if you want, if you're planning on overclocking the CPU straight away, get one of these coolers instead;

Otherwise, you can use the M9i for now and upgrade cooler in the future, when you want to OC.
