I'm a life-long console gamer who's never owned a gaming PC (I've only ever owned Macs), but I'm tempted to finally make the plunge into getting a Windows gaming rig for Fallout 4.
Unfortunately, I don't know shit about building PCs, so just grabbing a bunch of parts from Newegg and bolting them together by myself is out of the question - for a while, it seemed like the Steam Machines were the answer to my prayers, but since no one seems to know if Fallout 4 will even be published for Steam OS (to say nothing of how half the reason of getting a gaming PC would be so I can finally play everything on Steam and not be tied to a niche OS), I'm back to square one.
So, what pre-built Windows gaming rigs would you guys recommend? Ideally, I'm looking for something that can run Fallout 4 on better-than-console settings and that can be easily hooked up to a TV for play with a controller (really, I'm just looking for a beefy gaming console in the shape of a PC).
Anyone have recommendations?
And for reference, here are the recommended specs for Fallout 4:
Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent
8 GB RAM
30 GB free HDD space
NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent
