So I asked a question similar to this a while ago since I needed help with buying a new gaming PC. I've been advised to just build my own so I could save money with better parts but my parents won't let me (I've been asking them for weeks since I heard it was super easy, but they refuse so whatever :/).

I planned to buy a custom built one from Ironside (fx-6300, hd 7770, windows 7,8 gb ram, 1 tb 7200 hdd, coolermaster haf 912, ASUS M5A78L-M LX Plus motherboard, 600w psu and a wireless 350mbps internal adapter). The price totaled around $850 (though its been as low as $700 when they had a better deal).

I searched around newegg and I noticed this - PC from newegg

It has the same cpu ram and hard drive and motherboard (Confirmed in the FAQ section). Instead of windows 7 it has 8.1. The only problem its grpahics card is bad (hd 7730) and the psu is kinda weak (300w). I was gonna upgrade to an hd 7770 or better though.

Anyways would the machine from newegg be good for gaming?

d0m3ris there any reason you don't want to build a pc its always better than buying a pre-built they arent that hard to put togetherCvalSo I asked a question similar to this a while ago since I needed help with buying a new gaming PC. I've been advised to just build my own so I could save money with better parts but my parents won't let me (I've been asking them for weeks since I heard it was super easy, but they refuse so whatever :/)

Is it really that hard to read the first paragraph of the OP?
