So basically im very due for a new computer:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 620
4.1gb of ram
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Service Pack 2 (build 6002), 64-bit
my resolution on my monitor is 1680x1050
and pretty much i want to get a new mid range gaming pc, most games i play are probably like world of warcraft but i own a few shooters which i cannot play since my computer is crap. i dont need high end specs/frames but i guess for at least world of warcraft i would like 60 FPS throughout Raids (i get most of the time 60 while questing but raids/BG/lots of people around i drop to 10-40fps) but still would like to try other games other than Wow without drop in frame rates.
i have three things in mind: Price range for all three options would love under $800 (last option is more than $800)
buying a mid range pc (OEM's like Asus/HP/Lenovo/Dell and such) and putting a GPU inside one of them see which GPU/CPUs i decided below
Computers in mind:

Build my own computer: i don't know too much about computers but i own like 20 different computers in my current room that i have been taking apart and inspect/such so i would know how to install CPU/GPU/RAM/ possibly HDD/PSU so most stuff, my father can also help me with that stuff. i have heard this is the cheapest way to go but i am still not sure what parts i should get, heres some i have picked out so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tddzhM other CPU's i have thought of are a i5 4670/4590/4570/4430/4440 so any of these for which ever you guys think i should grab would be awesome, as for GPU i have only thought of Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti boost OC or a AMD Radeon R9 270 / 270x. my dad will not let me buy a AMD CPU for his personal preference and supposedly "Experience" with AMD so that's a no no, also if you have a different CPU in mind it HAS to be a core i5, i7s are overpriced and i know that a i5 is all i need, if you have a motherboard in mind it would be awesome that i could upgrade to a i7 in the future.
Buy a prebuilt PC from Digital storm: my dad has told me that i should buy a prebuilt computer from Dog house systems but they are wayyyy too over priced its 1.3k for a i3 an i5 is almost 2k and a i7 is almost 3k, they allow you to customize if you want a little more ram for instance and they overprice that even more, going from 4gigs to 8gigs is another $100 and i know that ram is not that much money :/. so i have been doing research and i found http://www.digitalstormonline.com/ and their prices sound so much better with the different spec "levels" i am thinking of buying http://www.digitalstormonline.com/vanquish-ii.asp the level 4 version since its i5 and looks like its GPU is better than my GTX 750Ti.
Edit: also on the prebuilt computer and possibly on other motherboards i would get they have PCI Express x1 slots, if i wanted two monitors running, could i slip in a small cheap GPU to the x1 and run that monitor on low resolution so i can get max performance on the main gpu?
any thoughts/comments would be awesome for helping a brotha out thanks guys!
