Buying first gaming computer, opinions

[mdawgpearson]

Hey guys, I am buying my first gaming computer and was wanting some opinions. I do not wish to build this computer for various reasons so I will go with a pre built rig.

I am going to try to stay under $1,200. So far I have found these options.

What do you guys think about the those PC's?

Also the under $1,200 is just for the PC...monitor or keyboard not included into price

I'd go with the CyberPower one, but try to switch to a branded power supply and a better GPU if possible, since it's a gaming PC.

hmm don't trust UPS xD (Newegg review on that bottom computer)

I recieved the computer via UPS today. When I went to go open the package i noticed it seemed to be that it was cut open and retaped. I didnt think anything of it until the package inside was open. I still was hopeful thinking some where along the line the box was just opened somehow. Well come to my surprise I have no RAM.

anyways same go with that CyberPower one but change GPU(Unless you don't plan on playing hard core games and what not)/PSU

Get the ATI 5850 (+ $196) and Corsair 650W (+ $75).

thanks a lot, also does anyone have any other thing that they think might be good. or does that ATI 5850 (+ $196) and Corsair 650W (+ $75) look about right??
