Remember also you will have to buy a tank for argon.co2 mix and a spool of wire. they usually come with a spool but sometimes it's more like a half spool and you will burn through it practicing sticking every piece of scrap you have to each other (it's good practice).

Also remember that with welding unless you are doing commercial work and sticking large pieces together your duty cycle doesn't have to be huge but you want the best you can afford. Most of welding time is actually spent in prep to weld and almost nobody spends more than 3 minutes actually putting down a bead in one burst.
