    New PC Needed - Help plz

    Hey all! as the title says I'm currently looking for a new PC as my current PC is getting outdated. My current spec is an
    i7 2.6 GHz
    6gb 3x2 1333MHz ram
    1gb radeon HD 5870

    I've seen the PC in the link below and i just wondered if you guys knew of anywhere else i could get a better set up? I DO NOT want to build my own even though i know it will be cheaper and my current PC is an Alienware and they are just too over priced now.

    all input would be great.
