Due to personal problems, I most likely cannot do two things: Spend over $700 on a computer (disregarding tax and shipping) and build my own computer. So please do not recommend me to build my own computer or go over my strict budget, thank you.

So I am hunting for a gaming PC that can run medium-end games (I don't really know any medium-end games) very well (60 FPS+ at high settings). My requests for this computer is that it should not go over $700 base price, and that it should come from a very trusted site like Amazon or NewEgg or TigerDirect, etc.

Please leave a link to the computers you find. Thank you!

Gaming at 1080p is going to be tough to come up with a suitable system for $700. The gfx card is the thing that adds to the cost big time. Most $700 pre-builts have a HD 7750/r7-250 as their gfx card. Basically a 720p card.
Here's some examples between $500 and $750: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100019096%204021&IsNodeId=1&name=%24500%20-%20%24750&PropertyCodeValue=3089%3a20938%2c1418%3a28689%2c1418%3a54089%2c1418%3a50020%2c1418%3a49555%2c1418%3a14828%2c1418%3a45012%2c1418%3a17475%2c1418%3a29621%2c1418%3a43301%2c1418%3a29410%2c1418%3a16894%2c1418%3a427242%2c1418%3a24149%2c1418%3a22589

Out of all of them, since you said that 1080P is hard to find under $700, what choices do I have for 720P gaming on high settings for medium-end games, all under $700? Oh yeah and it needs to perform very well too.

The ones I listed above are all 720p gamers. They will also game at 1080p, but with settings reduced more than would be needed at 720p. I can't vouch for the quality of any of those machines. Go by the reviews of owners. Since you can't build your own, you are going to be limited to a lower performing gaming machine at $700.

Another option would be to grab one of these basic desktops: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100019096%2050001315%2050011210%20600337482%20600014733%20600014651&IsNodeId=1&name=Tower&PriceMin=200&PriceMax=535
...and add your own gfx card. The basic desktops generally come with a basic 300W PSU. The best gfx card for that small size PSU would be a GTX 750 Ti. But be sure you get one that does not require a 6 pin PCIe power cable. Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487024
That would get you closer to solid 1080p gaming.

@ Master Dell
That is indeed a steal for $700 pre-built. The PSU is low quality. It might be worth it to spend the extra $21 and opt for the Corsair CX500 V2 instead. But that is a good price for an i5-4xxx and R9-270. It will game nicely at 1080p.
