After looking around all day for a pre-made rig that would be able to run Skyrim, as well as most games decently, I have settled on this: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1F7H9T

Since I am a noob, I just wanted to hear some opinions on it before I went with the purchase. I'm looking to be able to run most small games (Minecraft, LoL, etc) very well and some big games like Skyrim at least decently.

Well I'm down with spending about $1,000, I don't just want to run Minecraft etc. but games like Skyrim and Battlefield 3. I'm not having much luck finding a deal, usually everything's good but one component.
