Research, ask questions.

I wouldn't recommend a Dell, or HP for gaming, or anything else for that matter, unless you get their high-end stuff.

I wouldn't worry about "Bloatware" It's easy enough to get rid of. I DO recommend Macrium Reflect, for when you get it all cleaned up, with everything installed that you want. That way, you can image your drive, and have it the way you want.

Get something DESIGNED for gaming. Ask questions. Is it upgradeable?
That's the most important question. Budget gaming is definately doable.

Cyberpower, in general, isn't a bad gaming rig. As I've said, I have one. I know a few others with them. They seem to like them, and the upgrade potential.

Find out what MB is in that machine.

Go here. Check the motherboard for upgradeability. Do your homework.

Good luck!

If you build, spend money on MB and CPU. That's where your true future proofing will be. RAM, HDs, graphics cards, etc can all be upgraded piecemeal, but the MB/CPU set is going to be your limiter at some point.
