Entering the world of PC gaming for the first time....

Ok so my purpose for being here is as follows.

E3 is just around the corner, but as of yet I have seen little to entice me to purchase another console.

But I know zero about PC hardware...

Do i take the plunge and just hope it works out for the best....or is creating an awesome rig a labour intensive, dull and a fruitless venture  that could potentially lead to dissapointment??

the way how you phrased your question, i sense a bit of console bias on the pc perspective"dull and fruitless adventure venture". So this hermit will not offer his opinion to an obviously biased person. You have already made up your mind.

Takes 1-2 hours give or take, maybe 3 if you take a nap.

Its pretty fast and should be fun, not labor-like or dull.

What's your IQ? Did you own an Erector Set as a kid? Are you still a kid? Do you believe in Creationism? Do you have a bucket of money lying around?

These are the questions you need to ask yourself. If you have a moderately functional human brain and are coachable, you should be able to build your own computer without breaking anything more than a couple of times or permanently injuring yourself. It is a good feeling to be sitting in the cockpit of your shiny new home-brew computer, knowing that you saved a couple of hundred dollars and have the most kick-ass machine possible for the money you did shell out.

build it yourself. google and this forum are your friend... it's really easy, not that labor intensive, and quite rewarding. MuD3

I built my first rig a few months ago now. Before that the most I had done was upgrade RAM and install a graphics card. It may be intimidating at first, but it's not hard. I believe the others would agree that you should learn up and build your own. Picking parts can be tedious and confusing at times, but for that you can just give us a budget and a few people will supply you with a good list of build components. As far as this whole process being worth it, fun, dull, etc., that's really down to your personality. If you like electronics and enjoy fiddling/building things, then this should be up your alley.
