Hellou mobafire :3
So, I've recently decided to update to a gaming pc and keep my lappie for other stuff only :3 I don't like going out of my bed to do stuff like chatting and things so xD

What would you suggest that's a CHEAP (I'm a 15 year old on a low budget) but decent gaming pc that can run most games? I'm not really thinking about high end games because I probably wont be able to afford a pc that can run those super smoothly but I would like it to be able to run something like Aion, Tera or DC universe online on mid-high graphics without much lag.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks to Koksei for the sig!

Want one cheap? Build one.
Don't care? Build one.

Basically, unless you're really lazy, it's best to build your own.

I wouldn't build a PC yourself if your budget is below 500/600€ just because it isn't really efficient.

A good mid range PC would include a 2nd or 3rd generation i5 CPU, some kind of Nvidia or AMD graphics card (you don't want intel integrated ****), 8gigs of RAM and furthermore pretty much standard stuff.

My budget is around 600€ q.q

So far I've found this to be in my budget range (premade)
Intel Core i5-3330 3.0 GHz
MB Foxconn H77MXV-D
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1000 GB HDD
nVidia GeForce GT630 - 2GB

And a friend recommended me this if I was going to build a comp, thoughts?

MSI N650-2GD5/OC, 2GB GDDR5, PCI-Express / or an radeon 7770 +

8GB Corsair Vengeance schwarz PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-24

ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0, AM3+, ATX

be quiet! Pure Power L8 CM 630 Watt

AMD FX-8320 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+

Seagate NAS HDD 2TB SATA 6GB/s

I made this for a friend like 2 Weeks ago.

Might want to look into it :p, tho there is no harddrive since we used her old one.
About your list.
I don't want to start an ADM vs Intel Fanboy ragefight. But I personally prefer Intel, my last AMD was just meh lol.
Also, 630W is a bit overkill if you aren't like ocing every little **** and have SLI-Graphicscard and more (whatever there is more xD)

www.newegg.com

even if you don't buy from them, it's pretty good for pricing and feedback.
