Pre-built Desktop Help please!

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to buy a pre-built Desktop for about $1250.
What is the best computer I can get for this price?
(The budget is for mouse, keyboard, and screen as well).

I've been looking around Bestbuy and Dell.com, but I'm not too sure what to get.
The Dell XPS desktop seems pretty good 0_0 but not sure haha
Thanks for the help e veryone!

Why do you need prebuilt? It's so much cheaper to build it, and it would come out so much better. I bought pre-built which was
stupid because I ended up completely exchanging its external parts with new, better ones. If you want pre-built, get a compaq, they are good. Lasted me an entire
year and never slowed down.

It would require more time, and it would require me to find someone who has at least some experience with building computers.
Also, I would rather have a warranty as my past computers have been prone to freak accidents lol

I just need something pretty up to date in that price range
I want it to be able to handle games such as: SCII, L4D2, CoD and such @ Max settings. Most computers in that range can I think.
Just want the best in the range and I plan to use it for about 7 years lol

bumpp

I would check for Asus products wherever you purchase from, I favor them. Other than that if you do decide to learn and build a pc Newegg has alot of kits that come with the pieces pre selected, and for that much you can get a solid rig.

Ah sorry, can I get this thread closed? Thank you everyone for the help though!

My specs of my built PC:
Mid-Chassis blue Towe (tons of room for upgrading)
I-7 2600k 3.4ghz Sandy Bridge
16g Corsair Ram DDR3 Dual-Channel
560 Nvidia GTX Geforce 2GB (Factory overclocked)
1.5 TB MOBO Asus
Asus Montior 23" mini-HDMI
SSD (relatively cheap one )
Push/Pull dual fans + liquid cooling/professional wiring

Total came out to almost 1500$ lol

I would suggest building your own cheaper even if it is only 100-200 dollar savings and it will have better parts.

Check Newegg.com for deals on really nice desktops, fairly reliable and your $1250 will get you something fairly nice compared to your Best Buy/Dell.com. Those stores are only for the people who don't care about specs and are asking for a ripoff.

I think its better to build your own, plus you get to know how you set your ow nthing, so nothing will be beyond your knowledge. BEsides its fun building the pc your self, especially if you're unboxing brand new parts.

And you could do SO much better with that kind of money.around 800$ and you can build a high end rig that'l last you 7 years...even for ever as long as your parts are warranted.
