Prebuilts typically suck for gaming (and that particular computer's price is too high). If you want to game, build it yourself. It's not that hard.

i modified this one for a cheaper case (guardian 921), swapped the water cooling for the stock fansink though your welcome to change it back for 10 bucks, went with a cheaper psu, get a milldly beefier mobo, and you picked up some extras (free copies of battleforge, codmw2, stalker COP) some free case art and some extras fatures (cable mangement, proper protection for the internals and finally extended the warranty to two years.

all of this on top of a better gpu and a phenom II x4 cpu.. for about the same price (969 and change)

take it away vince:

"i dont know it sells itself"
