Need new gaming desktop pre-built.

[mattpegher]

One of my desktops just died and I was looking to replace it. It will be used mainly for gaming. I just don't have the time or the inclination to try and do another self build.
Looking to spend about $1000 for just the CPU. Looking at Ibuypower and Dell but are there any other sites that you guys would recommend.

would like watercooled. and have plenty of space for the unit so size is not a problem. Might try to swap out a drive or two but need a new graphics card anyway.

Any advice?

Thanks

I haven't bought anything from them but their pricing on upgrades is much more reasonable than Dell's.

Start with this "Gamer Extreme 2200" - i5-2500K, Z68, 8 GB, 1 TB HDD, Cooler Master HAF case

Change the video card to a GTX 560 ti 1 GB, total = $966.

It isn't worth it for a single-card Sandy Bridge system, especially with only a $1K budget. Put the money into the CPU and GPU instead.
