Need help deciding new desktop

[Surf775]

Hey everyone. (I'm new here, hi!) I'm going to be getting a new PC soon. Unfortunately i'm still not sure which one I should pick. I'm an action gamer (shooters, such as BF3), but i'm also a video editor (sony vegas hd 11 ,rendering in 1080P HD) so it's a little rough deciding my new desktop. I hope some of you guys can help me set it up.

My preferred budget is $1,100 (US), max you can go to is 1,200

These are my top 2 so far....if you could customize their specs please...

Thanks for reading guys!

The first one, however you could always build one

try ibuypower.com, but building your own will be fun and get you way better performance for the money.

True, but warranty if i buy one is what keeps telling me to buy one, not build one. Thanks for the suggestion, by the way! Looks like they have great deals!

but, you actually get better warranties on the components themselves, there are people here who can easily troubleshoot with you, and the probability of something going wrong is a lot lower. on top of the 2x better hardware itself, but we only recomend good brands with great warranties.

Each part on the computer has an individual warranty.
The parts are usually better quality.
And it's fun
