So I've decided to make the switch from consoles to PC. I've considered building a PC, but I'm a bit hesitant. PC gaming is a bit overwhelming for me. So I found three desktops online that I'm considering, and I was wondering if someone could look at the specs and whatnot and tell me if it'll work for me.

Dell XPS X8700-3130BLK
Cybertron PC 5150 Unleashed GM1223E
CybertronPC Hellion GM1213A Desktop

I'm mostly looking to play games like GTA V (when the PC version comes out), Skyrim (and other Open-world RPGs, Just Cause, Far Cry, Battlefield, etc. with mods. I'll probably also want to do video editting and record gameplay on the computer. I'm not looking to run all the games on max settings; just well enough for my own enjoyment and maybe for a few videos.

So will one of these be good enough for me and are there any better offers out there?

The xps has the best specifications,followed by the, then the cybertron 1213a, then 1223e.
NONE OF THEM will be able to to run GTA V. Probably will run skyrim on medium with no mods, battlefield on low/medium. The fps will drop while recording which may make them unplayable

I really recommend building a PC. It's quite fun, even if you're a clumsy idiot like me :). Anyways, if you don't want to, those PCs you listed I would not recommend under any circumstance.

I'm have about 1000 USD ready, but I'm willing to save up a bit more to about 1700.
Thanks in advance
