Best prebuilt gaming computer for $1500-1700?

[joeben123]

So I am looking to buy a high speed gaming computer (prebuilt) and I have a budget of around $1600. I just want the most bang for my buck. I don't care what maker it is from as long as they are reliable.

Approximate Purchase Date: whenever I find a good one.

Budget Range: 1500-1700

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing internet, skype

Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS, monitor

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No idea.

Parts Preferences: mid tower case, Intel processer, Nvidia graphics card, and DVDRW (don't need blueray)

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Don't think I need it.

Additional Comments: Don't need a SSD and I want 750-1000 gigs of hard drive space. 16 gigs of ram are needed. I don't need any fancy LED's or epic looking cases. Overclocking would be ok but I don't want to have to have a liquid cooling system.

Comes standard with GTX 670 graphics card. Pretty much the best card out there for the money. Just customize to 16gb ram. Comes within your price range. Also a note about ibuypower, they use quality components unlike the other major manufacturers. Dell/HP/gateway will give you name brand processor and graphics but they'll give you a bunch of no-name components.

Thanks phunky. Funny enough I was already checking out the paladin. I upgraded the ram and several other components and it is going to be around $1700.

You definitely dont need a 3770K for gaming.

Personally, you could go with the build that bigcyco1 listed, and get a 680, which is much more powerful than the 670.

The OP did say prebuilt which I take it to mean no building it himself.

The Cyberpower Gamer Infinity XLC also seems to be a good choice at $1459. Just upgrade the RAM to 16GB if you want, and the cooler to an air cooler.
