i have budget of $1000 and i want to buy a gaming PC that can play almost all major PC games.
Shouldn't be a problem. You can build a $300 computer able to run just about every AAA game at 720p 30fps or better, using optimised settings, so a $1,000 computer should be no sweat.
That said, a pre-built will most likely not provide the best value.
A $1,000 gaming computer purchased this month should use the previous generation CPU and GPU since the latest generation isn't available within the required price range.
Building yourself vs pre-built:
Building yourself is a four step process:
1. Define your requirements. We can provide some advice.
2. Pick and purchase suitable parts. We can provide help.
3. Put the parts together. It's not difficult as long as you feel comfortable handling a screwdriver. Plenty of instruction videos available!
4. Installing all software.
What you get is a computer streamlined to fit your requirements as much as possible. Later modification/upgrading is a breeze. Any troubleshooting is up to you.
Pre-built:
1. Define your requirements. (Exactly the same as step 1. above.)
2. Find the computer that best meet your requirements. (In practice: What corner(s) are you willing to cut to meet the budget?)
What you get is a computer less suited for your needs. Overkill in one or two aspects while not really up to snuff in others. Later modification/upgrading can be problematic if non standard parts are used. You can hopefully get some help if things don't work.
