It won't give you gaming on High. It'll do maybe medium for current generation titles at best, at 1080p. As with most people, I'm going to suggest you learn how to build your own, and buy your pc part by part. Much better value per dollar spent, and the knowledge is both fun and useful.

As most I would advise to build its not too hard. If you are totally against building maybe check your local craigslist or ebay can find a lot better deals sometimes on there if you are ok with a used system. You might even find basically brand new systems on there as well by hobby builders or people who build and sell full time.

Enough money to get a mouse and keyboard that you prefer.

Not at high settings for 1080p. But for that budget you'll have to deal with that. If I added money to the build, I'd get a 7870ghz card and you'd do fairly well. One advantage to either build is you can get the next generation Amd Cpu since it'll swap into the motherboard with maybe a bios flash. You can always swap out video cards later too, but you'd be better off spending a bit more now.

What would your maximum budget be for a gaming computer? Even a hundred dollars more would seriously upgrade the build.
