Which is the pre-built gaming PC out today for under 1000$

[Theratman]

Hello, I am but I am a noob to gaming pc and was looking to buy one already built but don't know where to start. I have look at cyberpower pc and Ibuypower pc but what is the best one I could get for under a 1000$ I am sorry but I am not good enough to build my own so I was looking for one already built. I would like one strong enough to run BF3 when it comes outs and must already have an OS installed. I have a year old samsung lcd TV hook up to the pc I run now and not really wanted to get another monitor unless really needed.


Thanks for y'alls help in advance.

That build is lopsided. You'd be better of with an i3 and a 69xx or 560

Better off configuring your own (building your own). Just saying, you'll get way more performance and power out of your build. As well as upgradability. Takes like 45 minutes TOPS to learn to build a computer and like an hour of actually putting together. 10 minute youtube video and your done.

Critiques about that (reasons to DIY):
That 700w is probably only supplying 300-500w in reality. It's a OEM or No name brand PSU what can you expect.

No name drive, probably slower than your average Samsung F3 1TB.
"
Certified Cooling" is just the stock heatsink

DIY you could get a board 10x better than the UD3.
