What's your budget? You can spend anywhere from $300 - $3000+.

You can have really good PCs for about 500€ here in germany, so it depends if you just want one to play games on ultra, or want a 1000K Nasa Pc for few thousand

Cmoa for me i just play games on high not ultra so would PCs be cheaper for me if i onoy want to play on high???

Do you want to build your own or buy a pre made?

[Moa Chiin]

It's not much cheaper, i mean it depends on the graphics card, the core and also the Flash.
but it's really important to decide to let people build it for you, or build your own. if you build your own you will know exactly whats inside, and etc. prebuild ones are not always the best.
I found some prebuilds for 1500€ wich i could have configurated myself for 900

First build? In any case, the most mundane component and the last one you want to scrimp on is the case. If you are going to build it you metaphorically need elbow room. Get some cable ties too so you can tidy the cabling... it is important for airflow.
Lots of people will tell you all about the other components that will have to be quality to seriously play games, but seriously, it all starts with the case. Step 1.

BTW, make sure the 3.5" drive bays are not riveted in place. You will have room in the 51/4" bays to house your drives but if that 3.5" bay is riveted in a mid-tower case there will be graphics cards 11" and longer which will not fit a standard mid-tower without being able to remove the 3.5" cage.
