What should I do?
So here's my situation:
I'm 15 and I will enter summer vacations soon. I will have the chance to work with my father to earn some money. So, should I gather money to buy blu-ray movies and PS3 games (as I don't have any games or blu-ray movies but I have a PS3) or should I gather money to build a PC (as I don't have one powerfull enough to run games at Maxed out settings). which option should I opt to?

Hmmm tough call, a good PC will run you $1500 approx, and that's if you're smart and build it yourself rather than store bought. If you know you're not gonna make that much I'd settle On the software. Sure you can have a decent PC at $800-$1000 but the difference is the more you spend the longer it's going to be until you have to start investing again.

I have already made and estimate of how much I'm gonna spend if I build a PC, about 740$. And it's a good one. Enough for me. So which option should I choose?

Get the PC. You won't regret it. You'll save a lot of money on Steam and it's an overall more enjoyable experience. You'll be able to do whatever you want without Sony breathing down your neck, either.
