Looking for a good Pre-Built PC under $680

I've had my eye on this PC for quite awhile:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227572&cm_re=pc-_-83-227-572-_-Product

It was listed at $650 before they took it down and I don't know if they'll be restocking it which is bad news.

So, I'm hoping somewhere out there, there is an already pre-built PC I could order that has the same or really similar specs around that price.

I don't want to build a PC, I would prefer if it was pre-made. I know it would probably be cheaper and such, but I really just don't want to risk an issue with building.

If anyone could assist me here and guide me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

What will you be using it for? On the gaming side of things you're not going to get anywere useful and that'll last for that budget. Same thing goes for a content creator build. Best you'll do for this budget and prebuilt is for light gaming and web use.

Well with the specs on the PC in the link, what games would I be able to run and how well?

I've passed this PC by several people and have gotten varying responses on how well it would be. A few of them said I could run most games on max and smoothly. A few others have said it wouldn't be too good for gaming.

Honestly the only games I can think of playing a lot would be DC Universe Online or Company of Heroes 2, at least in terms of wanting to play them at a high graphics quality.

Here are some benchmark results straight from TomsHardware

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gt-640-review,3214-3.html

Not sure how demanding your games are but this card barely runs BF3 on Medium 30fps on 1280x1024 and cant hit 30fps on low on 1920x1080. So see how demanding your game is compared to BF3 and make the comparison.

Its not a completely horrible card but its way down there on the low end of GPUs
