Don't suggest me parts unless its absolutely needed that i just build one.
I doubt money is a problem right now

If you don't want to build one HPs gaming series is the best for your money although they are expensive. HP high performance and the Dell XPS desktops will be your best bang for your bunk, although these computers have usually 300-400w PSU which may not be sufficient for a good card, the gaming series have a 600W PSU.

if you want a gaming computer don't buy prebuilt. visit the computer megathread v2 and look at the builds for whatever budget you have, it shows you every single part that you'll need for whatever price you want.

Buying a pre-built is fine, usually it's just because when you build one yourself you to save the moolah. Right now however, HP has really good prices for their gaming series when comparing them to building one yourself. If you are a hardcore gamer, play MANY PC games you are better off building one, if you just play Blockland and maybe some simple/not demanding games then Prebuilt is fine.
Here is a reason why if your a gamer building one yourself is good a idea. 1. Most companies like HP, and Dell don't offer good graphics cards when you are customizing your PC, they are usually low end. You would need to buy a good graphics card seperately. When buying a graphics cad you need to make sure your Power Supply can power it and it will fit with your case, some of these companies listed above dont give detials of the Power Supply specifications and max length graphic card the case can support. There are a couple more things into this such as many of HPs power supplies aren't even 80PLUS certified but this is just a thorough look.
If you aren't a Hardcore Gamer, these things won't apply to you which is why I said getting a Prebuilt is fine.
