Trying to decide how to get a new computer

[Aviditas]

So I'm really tired of my current computer, I think the motherboard crashed and while it was really nice its basically a halfassed mess with free hand me down mid-high tier parts. I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to building and my friend who built it for me is being a twat so Im not bothering with him anymore.

I've been looking at premades on Newegg and Tigerdirect but I see cyberpower and I keep hearing awful things about them and other companies similar. I was considering buying an Alienware as well but frankly I'm not sure if I want to spend that much as well. I'm on a 700-100 dollar budget, though Im not planning on getting this till next month when I can save up a bit more so maybe probably around 1000 total. But what do ya'll recommend? Im not sure if just getting something from Bestbuy or the likes is a good fit as I like my gaming as high speed as possible. Or whatever, I'm having a poor time at wording this but thats the jest of it.

Basically what I want is to run things like WoW/GW2/Diablo at high/ultra settings. Hearthstone definately on highest possible (:P) And just handle other games decently. I was able to play Crysis 3 on my current computer without 2 many issues, think i was on settings right below the top, I don't remember.

This is basically what I have at the moment, i dont know the specifics but I remember I scanned my computer a month ago for my Blizzard Beta Profile

I posted a copy of this into the computer build/upgrade forum, it seemed like a better place to put this. My apologies on the double posting though, I forgot I can't personally delete a thread I started.
