A decent-nice gaming rig?

Why is it that people actively seek to be demeaning and like to appear as though they are somehow superior for knowing something on internet forums?

You're here asking for our help. I do not recall needing any of yours.

Remember, we're not sitting in a cubical getting paid $15/hr to run you through a script to make sure you get a computer that is tailor-made to you to the nth degree. We do this for free, and we are quite allowed to take short cuts to ensure that we aren't spending 10 hours of labor on every casual who comes in here to freeload off our expertise. But you are in luck that several of us here are exceptionally good at this -- so good in fact that we can safely compensate for assumptions made in the darkness of your failure to fill out all the needed details.

You did not state if you needed a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. You did not originally state if you were capable of assembling this yourself. You did not state if you would be overclocking. Suggesting the Dell compensated for all of these -- it gives you a mouse and keyboard while leaving plenty in the budget for a monitor, it doesn't require any assembly over the installation of a video card (easy), there's no chance of having wasted money budgeting for an overclocking processor, and it would give you exactly what you asked for: A computer capable of playing the latest games while fitting the criteria of "less money is better" because it's over $100 cheaper than a self-built including OS.

We can run other builds, but the thing is that you don't even know enough to know what you're not telling us, so unless we hold you by the hand with a time-consuming question and answer session all we can do is take shots in the dark.

And as mfenn said, the builds we give to people almost always include temporary deals to get each person the best computer possible for their money, so they do have time limits attached. If you are weeks or months out from making a purchase then our specific advice will no longer apply by the time you're ready to make the purchase. It's not cool to put us in the position of laboring to give advice when that advice isn't about to be used.

There´s many ways to go about teaching someone something, the condescending form is more what I refer to.

Also, I appreciate very much that there are people willing to take their time and help. Also, honestly even if I do not buy the computer tomorrow I am glad to have had the chance to learn a bit more about the current computer technology in just this thread alone. (I enjoy to learn from anyone and about anything, and also more computer knowledge in general in this day and age is usefull.)
