Is it really worth the money for the more expensive of these desktops?

[BradTheHawk]

Hey everyone i know a thing or two about PC gaming but im by no means an expert, im looking for a desktop that will be able to play the newest games that come out in high graphics or better, but i dont need to play wtih 240 FPS or anything like that as long as it runs at 60 im happy. I dont ever stream, i dont run multiple high demand applications at the same time, im just looking to play games for fun. So my question is, would it really be worth it for me to buy the most expensive of these 3 desktops?

Less expensive option is to order the components and afterwards call around to local PC / laptop repair shops and have them build it for you. This way you know exactly what you're getting inside your case.
