I have decided that it shall be a stationary, not a laptop. A gaming laptop cost about 2-3 times more than a stationary and you can't upgrade a laptop. Like change graphic card etc.
Before we look into which Computer we want, lets first look at its accessories
Furniture- A good computer desk
Gaming Chair-One which you sit comfortable in when playing games for hours.
Monitor(screen) A good and decent one 23-24 inches.
A good gaming mouse
A good gaming keyboard.
Its purpose is to run games, therefore I need some more gaming accessories, such as
A decent joystick
A decent steering wheel and pedal
Now we have all the accessories so lets take a look at the computer(tower)
It must have at least 6 gb VRAM and 6-8 gb RAM.
Furthermore the cpu must be between 2.5-3 GHz.
To be honest I really don't have so much knowledge when it comes to computer, only what I want or need.
and most important I do not have the money

Edit
The CPU must have more than 4 GHz |
First of all, consider leaving out the word "gaming". That word adds a premium to what you're willing to pay. In the industry, it also implies that you want a lot of lights or bold colors. These are things you really need to ask yourself if you need. "Gaming" also implies that you only want to use it for a couple of years before you replace it.
Treat furniture like its furniture. Whatever you get should be able to blend into the rest of your house or room. Imagine you have company coming over and you need to borrow a chair for the dining table. Do you really want your company sitting at the table with everyone in a conventional chair except for one person who looks like they're being executed or getting ready to eject out of a fighter plane? If someone sees your gaming set up, are they wondering where the teenager sleeps?
Think twice about leather for chairs. Leather might look good but it feels very cold in a cool room and super hot in a warm room. Leather is also great if you enjoy the feeling of sweat running down your back and that "peeling" sensation when you stand up.
For your desktop hardware, stay flexible.
Ask yourself what you really
need vs what you'd like.
What kind of games are you interested in? What other functions will your desktop need to perform (web surfing, stream uploads and editing)?
If your needs are basic, don't go crazy.
You can find some great pre-built desktops during "back to school" sales. These are bare bones, no nonsense PCs that feature minimal bloatware (if any) and none of the RGB hoo hah coupled with a fairly stout CPU. Upgrading one of these PCs is fairly straight forward (and usually fairly cheap).
What kind of lifespan does your desktop need to be capable of, ie how many years do you plan to run it? A plain-jane pre-built desktop should last you three to eight years or more. A boutique hyper gaming rig is expected to last for 6 months to maybe two years. Boutique hyper gaming rig builders need the return business.
We can get into more details if you want to keep the thread going.
