What's the best desktop for gaming?

So i saved up around 1,000 for a new computer, and I love gaming such as Minecraft and whatnot (don't make fun) and i don't know a lot about computers. I'm also going to be a freshman so will need it for school work so i would like a fast effective computer. Does anyone have a recommended good gaming desktop? Also my brother knows a lot about this stuff and tells me he can build one, but i'm a little hesitant at that. Would it be better for him to build me one? Hes 26.

Looking for a laptop no more than $300? Is this possible with my preferences?

Need the laptop to run Microsoft Word and Steam games: Skyrim, Minecraft, etc. Without lag. Also am planning on downloading music studio software. Or am I just going to have to fatten up my wallet a little more? **Please don't give links. Lol I don't really trust them. Just tell me the name of the laptop and I'll look it up.**

For the life of me, I can't get Minecraft t work?

For years, I've been able to run the Teamextreme version of Minecraft without a problem. It wasn't until sometime last year when it wouldn't work anymore. The launcher would close after I press play and then it would pop open again to tell me the game had crashed. Is there anything I could do?

Yes, I've already tried reinstalling the game and updating Java several times. I'm hoping for some fresh advice but I'll definitely appreciate anything 'cause I'm hopeless!

One word youtube channel names?

I'm planning on renaming my YouTube channel and I can't think of any new names. I do Call of Duty, CS: GO and Minecraft. I would like to have a one word
name like Instinct, which I had before, but I realized that there were way too many people named Instinct for anyone to find me. I have "Embark" "Virtue" "Nefarious" etc. Thanks!

How to learn to program young?

So I'm 12 and 13 in october. And so many things inspire me to do things that can bring a smile to people and one of those things I wanna learn is how to program. I barely know some java because minecraft modding but the videos I was watching to learn stopped coming out. But I don't wanna be restricted to a game that s so overdone and one day in near future be replaced by c++ after learning java. So I wanna learn how to program, what can teach me, and what's the best programming language for beginners.
