I'd like to get new computer because mine is pretty bad and ive been using it for 3 years now, and I get 60-90 fps on most maps but 40-50 on some maps. I'd like to play with better fps obviously but most of all I would like to stream really badly. I don't know shit about computers and I absolutely will not attempt to build one because I dont know anything at all. If somebody could help me find a prebuilt computer I could order that I would be able to stream on it would be much much appreciated, thanks :D
Building a computer is easy as fuck nowdays. Basically, if a part fits in a slot, it's supposed to be there. Also, before you think of streaming, what's your upload speed?

Don't spend over 400-500 if you're just going to play TF2.
Like MInd said, building a computer is super easy. Newegg has videos on how to build a computer.
This playlist has all three videos, and after you watch all three, you should know the basics, and really, you only need to watch the second video to know how to actually put it together. You would also save a lot of money by building your own.

If you watch the videos and after feel like you can build it, then you can post a budget and I could help you choose the parts.

building a PC just like Legos, and what #3 said "if a part fits in a slot, it's supposed to be there"
lol guys he said in his post that he doesnt want to build one

yeah this is true, but ibuypower is literally the worst. overpriced builds.

Buying a prebuilt computer will always be more expensive and for the same price you will not have the same performance as building your own. You have to decide if you are willing to pay more for a prebuilt computer or are you willing to spend a couple hours putting it together.
I had never built a computer before, watched the newegg videos a couple times, took me maybe 3 hours in total it's a piece of cake to build.

I recommend not getting from ibuypower. A friend ordered one from there and it took almost 2 months before he got his rig.

You should seriously just try build your own PC and take Cbear's route on learning from someone through skype or something. Pre-built pcs from sites will always be more expensive than putting a few hours on learning how to do build one.

Ma3laawill not attempt to build one because I dont know anything at all.
he said that because he didn't bother reading how simple it is and we are trying to change his mind to help him save quite a bit of money.
but I forgot a person should never attempt something new.

Ground yourself and build it on a wooden surface. Buy anti-static wristbands if it makes you feel better. That is probably the only "scary" thing when messing with PC parts is shorting them out. But the chance of you doing that can be drastically decreased by just rubbing your hand on the metal part of the case.
JUST DO IT, MOTHERFUCKER.

You don't have to build your computer if you don't want to. You should understand that custom builds are extremely expensive if you don't do it yourself, but it shouldn't be a problem if you can find something already build that you like.
Can you tell us a) your price range and b) what type of computer you're looking for? Be as specific as possible.

But if one was more than willing to pay the premium for a pre built (I just wouldn't be comfortable wiring and all that shit) would cyber power pc the best bet?
If you really don't want to build it yourself, you could probably just ask a nerdy friend or acquaintance to build it for you.
I was in your position about a year ago, I wanted a new PC but didn't want to build one.
Honestly, it's beyond worth it to build one yourself. There are a lot of guides online that will literally guide you step by step, and I learned a lot building my own rig.
The only con was that it took me 6 hours because I didn't really know what I was doing.

If you buy all your parts in ncix (you can have all parts price checked so it would still be a good deal) buy it with this:

and they will assemble the PC for you.
