    Help with a new PC.

    Okay so i'm trying to get back into gaming a little bit. As of right now im using an old Dell comp from like 2006-2007. Surprisingly i can still play wow, on very low settings, but i can still play. So i think its time to upgrade. I don't really know much about computers just the basics. I'm looking for a computer that i can buy already built and that i can just upgrade over time. So basically a good starting point and as time goes on i will upgrade as i learn more. Right now all i play is WoW and LoL. Hoping to have something good before Draenor. I'm going to post a couple that ive been looking at and hoping that someone could tell me if its a good starting point. And if anyone is willing to help me out i would greatly appreciate it if someone could take the time out and find something that is something they think is a good one. Looking to spend no more then 700-750 before taxes. Thanks all

    That said, I know you say you don't know much, but you say you upgrade it over time, so I'd imagine you at least know something. I'd recommend buying your own parts, it's glorified legos, at best, and you'll get more for your dollar. Look up a video on how to build a computer and see if you still think you can't do it yourself.

    This. It's best to just report the post and ask one of us to move it to the subforum, posting in the thread can have the negative effect of derailing it. We appreciate the help though!

    Thanks for the help. But my problem with that is i dont know what parts to buy lol. I know you have to have certain parts that go with certain parts. And i dont want to buy outdated stuff when i can spend a little more and get something newer. I know its just like glorified legos, i like that by the way, but i dont want to mess it up because i dont feel like i know enough. And i can see myself getting everything together, and ordering it all within my budget, then going o shit i forgot to order this this and this and sitting on a bunch of stuff for a couple months before ordering the rest. Or having to send a bunch of stuff back because i ordered it wrong.

    Well, you've got a budget, 700-750$, now all you need to do is fill this out http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...-build-Read-me! and someone can post a build that'll do what you want it to, nothing will be left out or missing. Anyway, I hope you reconsider, just trying to get you a better system that'll last longer for less, if not, I'm sure someone can suggest a decent place that doesn't overcharge by hundreds.
