Bought my first gaming PC. I was on a budget and couldn't spend more than 630 dollars. I found a decent one for 579.00 on sale and bought it.

Here is the link. it has since gone up in price (glad I bought it when I did).

I would like people's opinion on it and what pc games should I play.

So far i`m just going to be playing Diablo 3, WoW and Marvel Heros.
 
Good deal, MoPlaya

Steam has lot of great deals over the summer, sometimes 50-75% off certain games:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Skyrim
Fallout 3

Congratz, now you cannot go back to a normal pc. Goodbye consoles too.

Personally, I'd want an i5 or i7 processor and I detest Windows 8...
The graphics card will not give you the ability to run at high settings on modern games either.
I'd recommend an HD 7950 or GTX 760 if you want to be able to run the newer games at their higher settings.

But hey, everyone has to start somewhere. As long as the unit you get is capable of being upgraded in the future, then you're good.

The Arkham series of games are all pretty good.
 
Not a bad starter gaming rig. I agree with Retro, i5 or i7 is your best bet in the future. The video card is a slightly older model but you can always upgrade easily. That's a decent starting point for RAM but just like the video card, you can always upgrade there as well. As far as gaming keyboards and mice, my opinion is it depends on the person and what they feel comfortable using. I use a plain old Logitech setup and I'm fine with it. I would like to upgrade someday but it's not high on my list of things to do. Bottom line, the best part of PC's is they can be modified and added to.

My suggestion, get Steam. There are so many deals all the time and plenty of fun free to play games. You can always watch people play them on Twitch and see what grabs your interest.

My current Steam library has:

Arma 3
Borderlands 2
Fallout 3
SpeedRunners (a highly addictive and exciting MP game - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
DayZ
The Forest
Rust

I'm thinking about getting either Resident Evil 4 or Just Cause 2. Both are $15 right now.
