Looking For Computer Advice

[radio1314]

After much thought and consideration I have decided to get a gaming computer. As much as I hear how building my own would be good, I just don't have the time or patience to do so. If anyone has ideas on where I could get a decent comp that is already made, that would be fantastic. Also, I am giving myself a limit of around $700. I'm not looking for ultra, super amazing performance just something to get the job done. Any information helps!


EDIT: If you have info on monitors as well, that would help a lot as well.

You'll probably want a decent, mid-high range, quad core to cope with any new releases for now. You could get a 6 core but nothing really uses it at the moment and it would just be an unnecessary expense. (here you can go with AMD for price, or intel for perfomance at an expense)
You won't want more than 8GB RAM, and you will want windows 7 64 bit as your OS so you can use more than 3GB of that RAM.
Also a high wattage power supply would be nice in case you ever want to upgrade you computer, and it won't cost you much extra.
Then just get the best graphics card possible to bring you up to your budget.

Oh and you'll want a decent case that has good fans and good airflow so you don't have any heating problems.

I haven't been specific here but you can fill in the blanks, some people like to biccer over what gpu/cpu is better for the money and will try to recommend you the 'best' for your money, but at the end of the day, if you spend $700 you'll get a $700 computer.
