Hi, thanks to anyone who is reading this.
I currently have a four year old HP prebuilt computer and its starting to not be able to play any games even on the lowest graphic settings. (It was a gift) I'm currently looking for a decent gaming/college work computer that will last a couple years. I am leaning towards buying Cyberpower because it's easier than building it and I don't really know what to do with matching parts and trying to make everything work well together. Lenovo was another option because I have 15% off till Wednesday and I bought my laptop from them and had no problems. HP is another option since this computer worked fine for so long but I didn't really see anything special while browsing. I am up for building my own but I would basically need all the parts laid out for me and any tips since the most computer work I've done is installing a graphics card, ram and routine cleaning. Sorry for the long post and thanks.
Current Computer Specs. HP-Pavilion p6230y
AMD PHENOM II x4 810 Processor (4 CPU) ~ 2.6 GHz
8192MB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 4200 (3036MB)
The Cyberpower pc I was thinking about is the Gamer Infinity 8800 pro

Approximate Purchase Date: Sometime in the next month
Budget Range: From 1700-2000 Complete max is 2200 (if that extra 200 is needed for something important)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, College Work
Parts Not Required: Probably going to reuse my HP 2009m (1600x 900) unless told to do otherwise.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg or Amazon would prefer to get a prebuilt but if I get a lot of help I'll build it myself.
Country: (mine?) US
Parts Preferences: Intel processor, ATI graphics. (only because I've had them with no problems before.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: I don't really understand what this is so maybe.
Monitor Resolution: Current is 1600 by 900 could also use a Sony 32 inch TV
Additional Comments: I can get an OS through my college for free but would I be able to install it without disks on a custom build? (probably a stupid question)
