Building a PC:
Building a gaming PC can be extremely challenging. While sometimes it is more cost effective, there is always the challenge of building it. With building a PC, you must remember to have the required parts.
PC Case,
Motherboard,
Processor,
Heat Sink,
Ram,
Hard drive,
Optical drive/disk tray (Optional*)
Power supply,
Cooling system (Optional, but recommended)
and Graphics Card.
Now, building a PC is not the easiest thing to do, it takes time, patience, and a good feel for knowing what goes where. This is the biggest con with building a PC. There are numerous videos online that show you how to build a PC. Building time can estimate anywhere from around 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on how skilled you are.
Building a PC can be VERY rewarding. It teaches you what parts go where, and what each one does. If you ever need to update any parts in your PC, you can easily figure out what cable goes where, or what part does what, etc. etc.
In the words of a friend, "Building a PC can be extremely easy, IF you are smart about what part does what. If you watch videos online, you can learn easily, and after that, building your PC will be as easy as putting Legos together."
Buying a PC:
Buying a PC is pretty much the easiest thing you can do. When buying a PC, there are numerous brand names that you can choose from. Some better than others, some absolutely terrible (CyberpowerPC), and some absolutely amazing (In my opinion, Alienware).
Some can be extremely cheap, while others, extremely expensive. One thing you must remember is to look at the specks of a PC before you buy it, as well as the reviews of the PC built by the company and how good of a company you are buying from.
A typical gaming PC ranges anywhere from $500- $2000. While you would think a $2000 gaming PC is going to be the best because of its price, a lot of PCs can either match, or be just under the specks.
A lot of PCs already built cost over the amount of the total amount the parts, due to the fact that the company has taken the time to put the computer together.
Last Minute Advice:
All in all, Gaming PCs are not cheap. While they are not cheap, they are extremely beneficial to have over regular business or home PCs. Most gaming PCs are capable of handling multiple programs running at the same time.
Youtube and twitch streaming,
Video editing,
Games,
Etc.
A lot of gamers have multiple monitors attached to their PCs to run multiple programs at a time. While it is not necessary, it is very beneficial. It allows you to easily switch programs you are using. An example would be using one monitor to run a game, while the other monitor can run a streaming application for twitch or Youtube. First.First thing you need to make sure is that you have enough ram to run both. Running both monitors, as well as programs, takes a lot of memory from the Ram, My recommendation is would be to use a PC with 8 Gigabytes of Ram. This gives more than enough space to run multiple programs smoothly.

Good Luck, and Happy Buying!
