This is the PC I had already ordered, where you get a lot for 1000 bucks

http://www.costco.com/HP-ENVY-700qe-Desktop-%7C-Intel-Core-i7-%7C-4GB-Graphics-%7C-Blu-ray-Player.product.100077253.html?catalogId=10701&keyword=809235&langId=-1&storeId=10301

However I wanted a decent 27 inch monitor and a decent Graphics card, the card provided here is GT 640 which is a basic card. Assuming that I can get rid of the 23 inch monitor and the GT 640, and put in extra, the total would come to $1152/-

Now I am evaluating this other option

This PC will be $500/- during thanksgiving, plus I add this card and monitor which coast $122/- and $220/- respectively. The total comes to $842/-

http://www.costco.com/HP-Pavilion-27xi-27-inch-IPS-LED-Backlit-Monitor-%7C-1920x1080.product.100081807.html.

So it is $842/- vs $1152 (around $310/-) difference I am losing 20GB Ram and a Bluray player and apparently 57% more performance.

My primary use of the machine is Gaming and general purpose usage, and I want a PC which will give me decent performance with good frames rates for PC games atleast for the next 3 years.

Hi. You have already ordered the first one. Stay with it. You are giving up a lot of processor performance with the AMD choice. The first one has a good upgrade path and will give you a lot more. As for the stuff you want, just be patient and upgrade when you are able to do so.
