Nice. I have been wanting to covert to PC to have access to more games but keep getting stuck on where to start.

It can be hard knowing where to start if you want to build your own pc. But there are companies that specialize in PC builds.

I started off looking at the spec of Alienware gaming (now owned by Dell) pc builds. However, instead of buying Alienware, I would buy the parts needed using the spec list, then I would build myself. I substituted things here and there according to my preference. But their specs was a great starting point for me.

The best time to plan a new gaming pc build (imo) is around Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Building a pc can be intimating. So, there is aways the option of buying one if it is in your budget

The gaming pc should last you a good 3 years before you may want to swap out parts for newer technology.

Ooh I didn't realize Dell owned them now. Interesting. Great advice! I like the idea of building my own PC and saving for a few parts at a time sounds kind of fun. I'll check out the specs. Thanks!
