Help Me Find a Good and Not Pricey Gaming PC?

Hate to tell but you're still looking at about $1000 for a pre-built system.

Velocity Micro does a pretty good job building a box for $1000. They pack in the best possible hardware while keeping the pricepoint around $999 or so. Check out their website (velocitymicro.com) I've bought from them from about a decade. They don't clutter up your harddrive with a bunch of junk like some of the big vendors do (e.g. Dell) You just get your OS, and the install CD - not a restore CD.

If you build your own you could probably get down to $600-700.
