My son wants a gaming computer so he can play some ninja guy or something and you tube his matches etc. I bought his big high definition screen last year. I have no clue about this so any recommendations appreciated. We have 160-180 mb internet speed via Comcast. ( when it works) He plays fortnight mostly now and has a couple hundred wins

The game will run on a potato - i know because its what im running it on - but in order to record/stream it takes significantly more power. Blue gave you a couple of good options for a build your own. Buying a gaming computer off a shelf is hot garbage - the manufactures prey on the ignorance of consumers - and so getting a solid machine at a good price is damn near impossible.
If you absolutely want to buy it fully built I'd suggest letting someone walk you through building a custom machine on ibuypower or a similar website - or - go to your local computer shop and have a talk with them.

Thanks guys. I am not building this bitch but will pay a shop or something to put it together.

From what I understand it's pretty simple to build a computer.

Do you know of any advantages Or differencws with Amd Vs Intel?

They preform relatively similarly. Intel has better single thread performance, but AMD has all the cores

IF the application uses 4 or fewer cores = buy intel
IF the application uses 6 or more cores = buy amd
thats from a price to performance perspective. intel top end chips will always top amd chips from an absolute performance perspective. sometimes you pay a SIGNIFICANT price for said performance though.
