I would also like to note that if you are considering PC Gaming, do it. I found it somewhat intimidatng at first since I have played consoles my whole life but it really is better. As far as assembly goes, there are TONS of great walkthroughs online which will tell you exactly hwo to do it. I am TERRIBLE at putting things together and I was able to do it pretty effortlessly.

Well that pretty much wraps this up. Hope you all are enjoying your summer so far 8)
