If I had the money for it. I realize that building your PC is cheaper, but it's still quite a bit of money that I don't have.

You could get a PC for a rather cheap price that could play games.

$300-$500 would get you an entry level PC.

I'll get a Wii U, then I'll shift my interests toward PC gaming.

Also, despite being able to get a gaming PC, I would also recommend saving until you got enough for a medium-end build, at least.

I actually have a fairly competent PC, but it's not ideal and my parents will not let me upgrade it at all. I asked if I could get a better graphics card, but they rejected that. So my only real hope is to get one of my own that works well.

A question: would I be better off using a Linux-based OS like Ubuntu?

For an extremely tight budget PC, most likely.

It would depend on what games you'd play though.

A list of Linux supporting games that are on Steam can be found here:

Couldn't I just use WINE?

They refuse to let you make it better because they paid for it? Is that even a reason?

I'm fairly certain they think I'll break it.

"Couldn't I just use WINE?"

A lot of games don't work well with WINE

+ Sometimes using WINE can get you banned if they find out

Pretty sure only TF2 has a Linux release.

The others are probably getting ported, however.
