While I am sure people get sick of giving their thoughts and opinions on this sort of topic, I figured I would see what people think. I will be using this pc to play games such as Batman Arkham City, Diablo 3, League of Legends, etc, and would ideally like to play them at max settings @1920x1080 resolution.

That's actually not too bad for the price as far as prebuilts go. If you are happy to build it yourself though you will always get more for your money.

i5-3570k
8GB G.Skill Ares 1333Mhz
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Sapphire HD 7950 3GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 2TB
NZXT Tempest 210
Antec EA-750 750W
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo
Samsung DVD Burner
Windows 7 Home Premium

Total - ~$1200 on Newegg


That is around $150 cheaper and would actually give better performance in games. That spare $150 could get you a decent SSD for fast boot and loading times.
