i7, 16gb ram, latest AMD card
Also download Steam for the awesome sales.
Build on yourself, otherwise you're retarded.
Google logical increments. Starts there, decide a budget, and do a little research.
It's not hard, doesn't take much time to research or build, and you'll get a better computer for the price in the end.

Steam sales stopped being awesome when PC gaming got popular again.

I'd say get the 390. They will both perform about the same, but a very modest overclock on the 390 will make it edge out the 290x.

They still have some good deals if you just keep an eye out.

computers are technology
the alpha is a good deal if you get it <400 USD
you can upgrade the CPU, HDD, and RAM so there's that
If there's a computer store near you (I mean computer store, not huge retail store that happens to sell computers), you could let them build it for you. That's what I did for my first pc. They might do a shitty cable management job, but that's because they are getting paid to assemble it and aren't really going to be excited after seeing it post for the first time.

Why would you do that?
It's easy as shit to assemble a computer yourself, doesn't take much time, and then you can do the cable management exactly how you want. Not to mention the fact that it's free vs paying for somebody else to do something that easy.
I bet you take your car in for oil changes too.

How do you know if the pc parts are compatible with each other though?

If you really can't figure out how to build you own, just google LanHAUS.
They'll build whatever you tell them to for a cheap price, and if you're completely braindead and can't figure how to pcpartpicker, they'll walk you through the whole process.
Maybe they'll even send you a helmet that matches whatever case you pick.
>>51723456
go ask /po/
>>51727993

The Alienware Steam Machine is actually the cheapest of the Steam Machines.

Find a friend capable of building for you.
Ask him for a case without a window and parts without LEDs.
If he balks at the above, find a different friend to ask.
