Building a PC is much more simple than people make it out to be; however, it's not easy. I would say it would be best to go with a mediocre pre-built and then add components later on down the line once you've got an idea of PC hardware. 
I'm afraid I don't know a huge amount of pre-built PC providers in the US, but newegg tends to be a pretty safe bet. Some pretty good entry level kit on there for very acceptable prices.

I bought GTA V download from amazon to play LSPDFR. I hope that I'll be able to, every video I've seen has been from steam. But, that shouldn't make a difference... right?
My problem is my computer can not handle GTA V. Everyone says to build... The issue is I really have no idea what I need or how to build a PC. Can anyone give me some tips? I would like to stay under $600. Better yet if anyone has suggestions on prebuilt that would be great!
