New to Gaming PC's Help!

Hello there and thank you in advance for any helpful reply's.

First off i have never owned a gaming computer. I've always played on regular bestbuy/walmart computers. So I have absolutely no knowledge of custom built computers.

I've been doing some research on building my own computer and its just crazy confusing. So i thought hey someone out there must sell pre-built custom gaming pc's and here i am. So here are my questions:

1. I've always heard its wayyy cheaper to build my own. Are DS systems overpriced like ---------?

2. I've been looking at the Vanquisher II and the Eclipse desktops. What operating system do they run? How do i find the specs for them here on the site?

3. Is the eclipse powerful enough to run multiple MMORPG'S, Multiple Clients? along with music? Skype? Voice Servers?

4. Do either come with Monitors? If not what monitor would u recomend? or would my TV be a ok substitute until i can get the money for a good monitor.

5. Are either of them worth it or should i build my own?

Thx Guys/Gals -Anarchy

1. It can be cheaper to DIY. I have often done it. There are benefits to having someone else build it, such as a warranty and service. As my DS on order has not arrived, I can't judge my building skills against theirs, so can't say much more on this
2. Generally windows 8.1 is installed. Generally the GPU ( video card) determines the speed. Find which video card is in the system, then look at numerous benchmarks online in reviews
3. Running multiple MMOs at same time? I would not do this with my system, and it's quite capable. Uses up too many resources. But it can be done, if you want on most modern systems.
4. You can order monitors direct from DS I believe in the configuration screens. You can also order one from various online retailers or buy one at major electronics stores.

Yes, with any of the customizeable computers (not the Vanquish or Eclipse), you can get Win7.
