Hello everybody.

I'm looking for a preassembled gaming rig in the price range of 600-700 $ (Shipping+Tax included).

Approximate Purchase Date: This week/probably wednesday
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (world of warcarft,emulators,skyrim,mmo's)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows 7 or 8
Location: NY. United States
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comment 1: I would love to purchase the Ibuypower "Revolt" but so far I couldn't find a decent deal in my price range. (So far I checked ibuypower/walmart/bestbuy/target and newegg. Usually all the available "Revolt" Deals have at least 1 flaw in form of a bad videocard/extremly low power supply or the insane shipping cost of 75 $ at ibuypower.com.
Additional Comment 2: A integrated Wireless card would be a big plus.
Additional Comment 3: I'm aware of the fact that purchasing a preassembled gaming rig and eventually purchasing a "revolt" is not the best *bang for your buck* option.

Thanks in advance for your answers/help.

Unless I missed one, probably the best option on the prebuilt from Newegg is and AMD FX-8320 with a HD 7770 for $699 and free shipping.

I would still hope to convince you to take the plunge and try to build it yourself. It's really just like legos or lincoln logs, there aren't a lot of mistakes to make. Remember, there's a selection bias to the troubleshooting posts -- people are far more likely to write a post when there's a problem rather than an "everything's a-ok!" post. Building PCs is much easier than it was 20 years ago.

But if you don't, keep in mind that you're going to sacrifice quite a bit of performance and longevity and you're going to have a certain lack...

Well, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, but you can get way more for your money if you build your own computer. With a budget such as yours, you really aren't going to be able to find any prebuilt with anything more than like a GT 630 or 640 or the AMD equivalent. You'll also get a crap power supply and overall cheap components/accessories because manufacturers have to make a profit. Sorry because I'm not suggesting a prebuilt for you, but I just can't.

i'm with him. about the best you can hope for at that $$ amount would be an i3 or an A10... you're not gonna see much more then that.

you can do much better if you build it yourself.

First of all I would be totally screwed if the slightest hardware/internet/boot problem would occur(and that would be one hell of a disappointment after playing world of warcraft with 10 fps for the last 4 years). Second of all I just feel more comfortable to buy a preassembled gaming rig.(knowing the machine will work right out of the box)

+ 350 watt power supply = 705 $. I would be willing to pay that price but the absolute disgusting 75$ shipping fee is a no-go for me.(compared to the 9$ newegg shipping fee for a "revolt")

Best of luck! I wouldn't go lower, GPU-wise, than a 7770 because then you'll start to cross the threshold at which the newest games aren't even playable at medium settings at decent resolutions. Crysis 3 already gets the 7770 past that point, but it's an especially mean game. If you start to venture into the territory in which you're selecting a GTx10, I'd strongly urge you to reconsider and save up money and wait until you can do better.
