Is there any good quality yet cheap gaming computers?

All I want out of it is to play games like Dayz, Minecraft, and even Skyrim but still affordable, any suggestions? I'd say the max I can put into one is $250.

If you guys can put some alternatives that would be great!

Why is pc restarting itself while I play games?

I have a problem with my pc every time i open a game ( biger than minecraft like Smite, BF4, ) after 1-2 minutes it restarts. I tested multiple things and found out it restarts at online and offline games. But if i change the resolution from 1920x1080 to 1600x1024 i can play about 2-4 minutes. The 1st time it crashed it was a blue screen 0x00000be… But the next 4 times i tried it just goes black and restarts. I checked my temperature its ok and I updated all drivers.

Processor: i7-2600k
Graphic card: Nvidia Gforce GTX 660
Win:7 ultimate
64bits
8g ram
Power supply 600W

And all this happened after i changed my graphic card from Nvidia gforce gtx or gt ( don't really know) 440 to this new one
