Recently I lost my computer due to a breakup between my mother and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend decided to take my desktop out of fury and refuses to bring it back. So I figured I would go the whole summer without gaming..wrong m8's ! Turns out my mother is trying to find a good computer for me with enough speed and memory to handle my gaming addiction. I'm rather.. well.. hyped.

Okay, okay
You have a bit smaller range but uh let's look
You see, nvidia gpu's and Intel CPU's are generally better than AMD's stuff, but significantly more expensive.
You're probably going to want at least 2 GB 'GDDR5'- look for a nvidia 750/750 ti, 760, or 770. For AMD you should look for at the very least AMD 260, which is probably going to be the cheapest graphics card you should get ( although least powerful ). There's also the AMD 270 and 280.
8 GB or ram should be good- 6 is minimum if you're on a serious budget. As for liquid cooling, I would recommend it, although it is a lot more expensive.
Cyberpowerpc is a company I trust, and they have a lot of their pre- made computers on an eternal sale. If you want an Intel/nvidia computer, you're going to have to start at about $800. I would recommend getting an i5 processor for your budget, or an i7 if you want to go more expensuv - i3 is generall not very good. My friend has the Z97-i5 and it should be very much more than enough to run your games, but it's $900 not including the monitor.
Cyberpower's AMD PC's are a lot cheaper, you can get the 'gamer dragon or zeus a200 for below 800. I have no experience with AMD stuff, so I can't tell you much. |

you don't need much for those, except maybe GTA V i play JC2, GMod, and quite a few other games with these specs: GT 630 GPU 3.25 GB RAM (would have 8 but I'm using a 32 bit system) AMD Athlon II X3 450 (3.2 GHz)
protip: BUILD IT. |

@GiftBox Mother said it wasn't necessary.. which I argued heavily with. She said as long as we change the locks on the doors we'll be fine. Trust me.. I wanted to

when you can buy a phone yourself, then that's the time you need a phone texting your friends for no educational purposes is not necessary for education posting selfies and everything you do on instagram and facebook is not necessary for education calling your friends for no educational purposes is not necessary for education
if you need to call your parents while you're out without supervision (which you shouldn't be), find some public phone to use
screw if it's summer vacation figure out something else to do social networking isn't your life

and if you build, you may not need liquid cooling. depending on what you've got under the hood and how many fans you have, liquid cooling can be a complete and utter waste of money.

you can break your computer if you overheat it - better not to take the chance if you're not using anything above 750/260 and a simple i5
Fans can only do so much |

@Nteo Who said Social Networking is my life? Facebook is a bore, IG is worse.. I mainly just use Tumblr. Even then I never post selfies, unless it's a rare occasion. And I did purchase my phone, luckily my allowance helped me out with it's purchase. I basically just use my phone for talking to my friends and playing games. Besides it's fairly helpful when I am alone or I just need a lift to contact a family member to come pick me up or give me some assistance.
Honestly I dont see what the big deal is here.., Kinda feels like you've been targeting throughout the threads I post.
