    Okay so I don't know much about computers, but I know enough to know what's good and what's not. I'm saving for a good desktop, and I want to know what you guys think of it, before I buy anything. Computers I am thinking of: http://otvtech.com/catalogue?page=shop.browse&category_id=980 or http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Holiday-Paladin-Special
    Criteria,
    • Gaming computer
    • $900 - ~$1'250
    • Desktop
    • Intel core
    • NOT alien ware
    If anyone has any suggestions, opinions, tips, or recommendations, please comment!
    Thanks for your help everyone! :D

    Starleana go on pcpartpicker and work out parts that are the best that fit into your budget.

    Do you know anyone who knows how to assemble computers? If so I could make up a list of parts for you. Also, why does it have to be Intel? I have an AMD processor and it's $200, and faster than the processor in the first selection (i5 4570). Also, what games do you plan on playing, besides Minecraft?

    Yes I know a few people, but they charge quite a bit of money. It would be cheaper to just buy one. I personally prefer intel. I would play a lot of RPGs.

    I would strongly suggest building it yourself, I saved about 400 dollars because of it.
    For $1200ish, check out zeno's post on the lists.
    Or, look on /r/buildapc or /r/pcmasterrace

    Like I said, I know hardly anything about computers, which is why I do not want to build my own.
