But after that if you still wanna go for it then by all means do it and if you do ever need help there are tons of PC gamers on NGU that'll be glad you help you out
It's honestly not entirely different. I usually ask people two questions, "Can you type?" and "Can you mouse around in a desktop environment?" The answers are typically yes because most people in this day and age have interfaced with a computer at some point in their lives, if not daily. I'll concur though most people will be a bit awkward at first but I think it's more mentality and overthinking. It's like writing. You use your hand, wrist, and a bit of arm especially if you use low sensitivity like I do. :p

You don't need to upgrade every few months. Granted if you have the money and you're one of those people who have to constantly get the latest and greatest you can. But I haven't upgraded in about two years and I'm still capable of running the newest games. But I also stick to first person shooters and low graphic settings to maximize my frames.
