So, as I understand it's build or GTFO.
Are you sure I can do this, I've never even upgraded a computer before better yet built one...

I recommend u to buy a new one, if u are going to use to play. The upgrades u can make on that desktop are quite limited and u probably u will have problems finding the stuff.

If u want to, buy it piece by piece on the internet (cheaper). U can build it urself or take all the pieces to a guy who knows how to xD. Or buy a closed config, there are some good configs there with nice specs and low price.

- you know what you get
- cheaper
- you can upgrade/exchange any part
- you dont have to send the whole pc if some hardware is broken
- much place for creativity (case modding, overclock, waterpump)

Contra
- not ready to play if something needs some time to arrive

(can be a pain when the hardware isnt available)
