computers are confusing. people who understand them enter

[uh-oh]

i want a decent gaming pc.

i want to be able to run new games for 1000 bucks. i dont need them all the way maxed out, but as close as possible

i've been looking through pcs and there are way too many components that throw me off

processors. ghz. ram. SSD? graphics cards with confusing names and shit. how is a 4gb ram video card better than a 2? how come gaming pcs have 8gb standard ram instead of 16 like more generic normal pc's?

i always thought more ram, better pc right? and then theres shit like i7 intel vs. i5. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE

HALP.

also whats the point of SSD. some have them and they're like 300 more with half the ram and normal storage

i don't understand pc's.

link me to the best actual computer for 1000 plz

or if you think i shouuld build my own, be willing to link every single thing i will need, and be available to walk me through setting it up lol

but word, all the music applications i use run perfect on this shitty old dell i have. 4gb ram, 500 gb hd, 2.5 ghz.

so any computer will probably be fine for all of that. i just want to get a solid pc to use for the next few years, where i can enjoy gaming somewhat. again i don't need maxed out video if its sacrificing something else. im guessing like medium settings on the average game?

really only upgrading for rome total war 2 which i still havent played yet, but i figure if it runs that well-ish anything will run good
