lol i just spent £1700 on building my own gamer pc, unlike pc's bought from places like pcworld (shop for people either not bothered to build their own or have no clue as what a gaming pc should be) i built it and changed the cpu twice then changed the motherboard and cpu to a better game related system.

building a gaming pc should cost no more than £1000 and thats pretty much top end (forget alienware your just paying for the name), there are plenty of guides to help novice system builders and modern pc's are so easy to build compared to systems from 10 years ago, if your on a budget AMD has a range of low cost CPU's called APU's which are a CPU with a GPU (graphic processing unit) on the same chip, its just a case of searching for the best system to meet your budget, a low cost system costing just £350 can run pretty much every game released on the PC so every gamer who wanted to try pc gaming can.
