Can somebody please waste 5 minutes of their life to teach me and anyone else that can read your reply the basics of what or how pc gaming works? (Such as, cpu, gpu, graphics card, gtx 1060, gtx 1080, why does everyone tell me buying a pre-built pc is so bad? Should I build mine? And what the hell is RAM?!?!)

A pre-built PC is not bad at all, however it usually comes with a lot of bundled software that make it slow. For a good gaming PC, you need a fast CPU, lots of RAM (memory!) and a powerful graphics card, like the GTX1080. Then you wipe the hard-disk and install everything fresh.
