    PC best for FFXIV?

    So i play on PS4 and haven't touched a PC in gods know how long, was wondering if any one had any good recommendations of good desk tops out there that may be available.

    I have been looking at a few from Bestbuy and here are some I found that I think would be good. Idk. i am wanting best performance for when i swap over to the PC master race ;3

    Cyber power : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpow...&skuId=1295083

    Cybertron: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cybertro...&skuId=1625356

    Cyberpower 2 TB: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpow...uId=1306418032

    These are just a few that I am looking at and considering for my Christmas gift from my GF xD sooo yeah.

    Unless you plan on playing alot of PC exclusive games or becoming a steam junkie, I'm not sure swapping to a PC is really worth it. Just my opinion, especially since you already have a PS4.

    Well thats the idea, I plan to swap full over to PC gaming and use my PS4 for the PS4 games I have for it xD That was originally my very FIRST dilemma, but now this is my current one x_x

    Unfortunately none of those you listed are even as strong as the PS4.

    They are also terrible value for that price.

    Could you recommend any that are better than those at the same price?

    I'll see what I can do. I looked through all the ones on that Best Buy site and they are all terrible. I'll edit this post if I find something.

    Would you be able to build it yourself, or does it have to be a pre-made PC?

    Example of what you could build for that price range:
    http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/MrmgK8 - without OS (add 100$)
    http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/jqNqVn - with OS

    You would probably want at least an i3 or AMD FX 4XXX series CPU
    GPU - you should get at least an AMD R9 270 2GB or NVidia 750 ti 2 GB

    I actually thought of doing so but given that i havent touched a computer, as in assembling and disassembling one, in over about 8 years, I think i should go with a pre-made x_x

    Ok sweet. So I can build a PC there and they ship me the parts and I build it or they assemble it for me? O_o lol (this goes to show how much I know about this after so long x_x )

    Also i saw you put windows 7 for the OP system. Is W-8 bad for running games or not the best or what?

    Just habit because I prefer Win 7 over 8.
    Yeah you can assemble your PC there and then they ship the parts for you to put it together. Lots of fun.
