As the title says I'm looking to either buy a good brand of Pre-Built gaming PC's or if someone could be kind enough to possibly post a list of parts including a Monitor for a really good build within that budget. I don't mind spending $750-$780 but i don't plan on going any higher than that i already have my Operating System which is Windows 7 (64-bit) and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 graphics card. I'd like to have a build that would be able to run certain games on High/Ultra Settings with no freezing up. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I casually play World of Warcraft and other various steam games IE - Dota etc. My current PC setup isn't for gaming so when i do play any games i usually will get freezes and blue screens. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

before I do decide on buying parts, are any of those capable of running World of Warcraft,Diablo,steam games on High/ultra settings as well as browsing/editing (photoshop)? Once again I appreciate the list of parts you all have given me.
