I've never bought a gaming computer and I know nothing about what makes a good one or what specs it should have so I'm pretty lost here. But this is the computer I'm thinking about getting so if some of you could take a look at it and let me know what you think that would help a lot.

Acer North America Online Store - Predator AG3620-UR308 Desktop (http://store.acer.com/store/acerna/en_US/pd/productID.258785700/parentCategoryID.60475000/)

Get it with Windows 7 instead of Windows 8? (I kid)
It actually looks really nice, plus it comes with a keyboard and mouse. Seems like it exceeds the system requirements for all the new games. Have fun :D

It does not look to bad but I have had issues with acer multipul times so I never buy from them any more however they were laptops, if it breaks dont expect good costumer service. mine broke from manufacture error and I still ha to pay for the wipe disk to fix it. so I just returned it to the store and bought my new beast of a laptop. Asus makes pretty good gaming computers

Yeah but I'm pretty sure Asus is out of my price range lol

Honestly just buy a DIY pack from newegg.com and watch linux's videos on ow to build a computer. there you can buy a good gaming computer (better ten that one) for like 800 bucks. you just have to build it your self, which is not that hard.

I think it seems to fit, but for the love of gaming get it in black.

Im not that good at computers but atleast the first one (the second I dont know really) is actually pretty good. It can play all games today and probably for a long time ahead. About Windows 8 its probably just a taste issue but I prefer 7(its easier with keyboard and mouse)

About Acer, both me and my brother were forced to turn in our computers thanks to factory issues(both had the same model), It took a (very)long time to get it back but I didnt have to pay.

I'm planning on getting a proper gaming computer at the end of this month too.

I'm just a little unsure of where I should even begin looking at the minute :S
