Hey there!
I have recently been shopping for a good pre-built gaming system and I think I have found one I like, the iBUYPOWER Revolt 2 (product page: http://www.ibuypower.com/Product/Revolt2).
Now of course I used iBUYPOWER's tools to taylor the computer into a configuration I found fitting. The parts I chose can be found below.
Now before everyone goes up in arms let me tell you why I chose this system. The first reason I chose it was because it is one of iBUYPOWERS "signature systems", my point is these systems are known for being better built and configured because they are custom made for iBUYPOWER opposed to the dozens of other random cases they offer.
My second reason is that when I compared it to other (I am not including a system that I would build myself, I am comparing it to other pre-built computer companies and stores like microcenter who will also build it for you) computer building services, it cost the same or more for the same system. If I went anywhere else I wouldn't gain or lose any money and I particularly like this gaming computer.

Before you reply please know that:
- I am not going to build a PC by myself, I have already explored that option.
- I am aware that some people strongly dislike iBUYPOWER but I ask you to give it a chance, some of their biggest criticisms I've been sure to take in to account in my build and our mostly nonexistent.
- Reviews for the Revolt 2 have been significantly good.
