Want a new performance/gaming PC but don't want to build, no experience.

Hello, I am in the market for a new PC, I was originally going to build but I have no experience with it and am afraid of spending 1100 dollars on a computer that might break down on me. I have used Mac most my life, I love it's simplicity and how it works, so I am in that type of market, I would buy a mac but it has basically nothing for me as a gamer, so I was wondering are there any good Prebuilt computer companies that you could reccomend to me, Im looking for i5 cores and gpu requirements are basically gtx560 and above.

Considering you said 1100 Dollars I'm going to assume you're from America?

If building is really out of the option for you, imo you got 2 choices for Pre-builts built towards gaming. Either go to a Pick you part, they buld it site. http://www.ibuypower.com/home.aspx / http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ those 2 are, imo. The best sites for that.

Or you could simply go to an online site which carries a already Assembled CyberPowerPC / Ibuypower
and chose it from there. Walmart, Frys, Bestbuy, Newegg sell already assembled ready to ship PCs from Ibuypower / CyberPowerPC. Downfall with these are you're spending more money than you should, and you will be getting some basic not-so-good parts, HDD, Ram, PSU specifically. Processor / GPU they usually do good. Read it of course what it is you're buying.

My recommendation though is to browse youtube for a bit over a few days, or a few hours if you got the time for it now. Building a PC is really not that hard as long as you know what you're doing, and instructional videos on Youtube will teach you that. And you will be spending a heck of a lot less and get a superb PC.

It's always good to learn how to build a PC! It's not hard at all, it's actually fairly simple to be honest. Just follow tutorials and such and it should be cake. But if you're really set on buying a pre-built machine try: http://us.ncix.com/computers/ or http://www.digitalstormonline.com/.

Building your own pc is great. If I'd bought the one I built from something like ibuypower I'd spent over half of what I paid. It took awhile and a few hours, but after that was totally worth it. Was able to spend that extra $$$ on something the good stuff.

iBuypower is a great company and I think you will really get your moneys worth from them. I've bought 2 computers from them before and they are phenomenal.
