What computer could I buy with $800?

I'm looking for a quality gaming computer for $800 or less, what would you guys suggest? The processor for the Alienware M11x is extremely stuffty, so don't suggest that.

Have you considered building one?

Buying one from a major brand will be quite a bit more expensive than buying one with similar parts.

I bought the Asus Essentio CG5290 for $699.99 at Best Buy. Excellent computer, haven't had a single problem yet. I did, however, buy a GeForce 9800 with it so I don't know what the capabilities of the on board are.
