So I'm thinking of going back to a desktop, I just can't cut it on a laptop with half my games I play on it and hooking a controller to the damn thing is the biggest pain in the ass. It probably actually wouldn't be if I was normal and got a PC game controller but I work with what I got people. If I go back to a desktop I'm thinking of building one again so I can upgrade it as time goes. 

Any builds yall can recommend I'd appreciate. The only thing I ask is please don't let it be so expensive that I have to sell a kidney for it. Im gonna buy things has i have the money but id still like it to be somewhat decently priced.

I'm going to build a desktop sometime next year in anticipation of Oculus and Star Citizen, hopefully.  I can't build/put together one myself by buying each part like some people, and will probably use a site like Cyberpower to build it.  It's more expensive that way, but I am just no responsible or technical enough to build my own.  

My laptop is ok, but I feel like I'm always wanting more with the graphics.  It plays DA:I pretty good though, but not at highest graphics.  I want a machine that smokes.

I understand completely, this will be my first build. I have a friend who can help me if I run into trouble so I'm not worried about it being prebuilt but unless u have someone who can help I understand having it built when they ship it.

They don't include Windows, so it might go upt to $500-ish.

I built my PC a few months ago, and it cost about $1000 CAD + tax (http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Caliban/saved/pRbwrH) which is definitely a bit cheaper in the US. I use Linux which is free.
