Dear haidcar,
thanks for the reply and your effort.
Sorry guys but I need more advice.
First of all do you recommend that I build my own pc or should I buy an assembled aftermarket one. In other words, for the same specs would I be saving few bucks?
Second, whenever there's a discussion about a custom built pc, I have been spotting PCandParts.com. So is this the best seller in Lebanon?
Third, I know it's great to get all my hardware from only one place with a guaranteed warranty of one year or more, but do you think it would be better if I visit the official sellers which I can find thanks to a post spotted earlier in this forum?
Finally, are the specs you recommended would be sufficient to run heavy games like GTAV smoothly? If not, what would you recommend to get even if I surpass my budget but wouldn't cost a fortune?
Bare with me guys, I'm new to this.
