I know that most of you will INSTANTLY say "Build your own". I respect that. I know that it is cheaper and better to setup your own build, but I do NOT want to do that. Please don't post even a single world about me building my own. I just don't want to. Now, for the question;
What is a good prebuilt gaming PC for under $1000-$1200?
I want to be able to play DayZ SA at medium-high settings at a stable 60 fps, if possible. Is that possible?

Dayz will be the most intensive game I will be playing, so all other games that I play aren't worth mentioning. Thanks!

Also, I will only be buying from a reputable source. I have heard bad things about CyberPowerPCS standard PSU though. Thanks in advanced!

You can try something like this for $1146 before tax/shipping: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1G1DC2
CyberpowerPC's standard psus are bad, like every other company's standard psu, but I made sure to put in a decent psu. It has a locked i5 so you can't overclock it, but you get great stock performance. It comes with a R9-280, which should be enough to play games on high-max settings, though what I dislike is that they're most likely going to put in a reference R9-280. The reference R9-280 uses a HORRIBLE cooler that is extremely ineffective. Not only will the R9-280 run fairly hot, but it will also be loud. Nonetheless, this is what it is.

You can make a couple of upgrades if you want it to become $1200 before tax/shipping. This build: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1G1DCB
It takes the original build but includes a 120gb SSD. Totals to $1204 before tax/shipping.

Surprisingly, there's some pretty good deals on the peripherals. You can take the original build and add some nice peripherals. Personally, this is the route I would go since these are some sweet deals: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1G1DCF
I took the original $1146 build and added a mechanical keyboard and mouse. The mechanical keyboard is only an extra $46 which is extremely cheap for what it is. The QFR goes down to $50-55 sometimes and that itself is already good. For $46, it's a steal. Also the CM Xornet is only an extra $5 even though it retails for $15-20.

Edit: Also, be sure to check the free Zalman gaming headset. I skimmed through it and missed the free headset. You don't want to miss out on free things! Be sure to look through the accessories section to see if there's anything you want.

Another option is to get NCIX to build it for you: http://secure.ncixus.com/products/?sku=7842
You pick the components and they build it for you and give you a 1 year limited warranty.

You pick out components from the NCIX store and then get them to price match it from other retailers. Here is an example of what I did:

2nd screenshot: http://puu.sh/8j8eY.png

Totals to $1,154 before shipping / tax. Compared to the cyberpowerpc link I posted, this NCIX build has a stronger gpu, a SSD, better case, and a better quality psu.
