OK I am very new to PC I am a console peasant. I reallllyyyy want to get into PC gaming and am Researching the best I can and watching vids I want a pc with a budget of $800 not including windows. I play a lot of FPS like fortnite, battle field, gears of war, and love to play any game that comes out. I am not obbsesed with graphics or FPS as long as it’s like the minimum of 60fps and games can run like at medium settings and look good.  Also maybe be able to over clock in the future. And I would use the pc for school to, anyone who gets this far thx for reading and sorry for being a nub I’m also new to forums

Is it actually cheaper to do it this way?!

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

"If it works, proceed to take it apart and 'make it work better.' Then cry for help when it breaks." - Me, about five minutes ago when my train of thought wandered.

Remember kids, A janky solution is still a solution.

This is all good except what I quoted, you might really enjoy a mechanical keyboard (red switches I find are best for people switching from console)

I have one concern tho do I have enough fans and stuff to over clock in the future?

GPU can be overclocked but that's all.
