Looking for a Bang-for-Your-Buck Pre-Built PC

[NewBelieve]

My friend is currently looking for a good pre-built PC for $1000 or less, preferably on Amazon. He's interested in Gaming and would like to have a decent computer that can last him for a few years.

There are none, that's why you build em yourself.

Don't post if you're going to be typical and write 'build them yourself', sure he can do it but he doesn't want the hastle and he'd rather dish out a few more hundred to get a pre-built plug and play.

A GT 740 for that much money? If he was building why would he get an I7-6700K when he could put the money into a better GPU?

Anyway, he's not building. Hang on NewBelieve, be right back!

This Acer wouldn't be too bad https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-AG3-710-UR53-Desktop-Windows/dp/B016Z1I8PQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468023008&sr=1-5&keywords=gaming+desktop&refinements=p_36%3A-100000

But this Asus here seems to be a better deal https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-G11CD-US009T-Gaming-Desktop-GTX960/dp/B016E80EKW/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468023008&sr=1-8&keywords=gaming+desktop&refinements=p_36%3A-100000

*Pre built Pc's in a nutshell*

Also he said he basically wants to future proof his PC, the 6700k is great for dat in case he wants to build a PC.

Here is a pretty good one, but I usually go against buying from cyber power. They like to cheap out on certain components.

i prefer to go for decent specs (cpu, ram, hdd space etc) running the igp. can save some not buying a gpu you won't use and get a decent i5 system. then put the rest into a new psu and gpu (stock psu's are usually weak) can stay under $1000 and overall get a better system. i've done this with a number of "office" pc's they sell. they tend to come with a lot of ram and the average mid tower case that can handle a new gpu.
