I usually look at Sharkyextreme.com to get an idea of reasonable priced gaming machine builds. They have a value gaming pc guide for a reasonably priced pc build at 1 thousand dollars. (More like a 3 year shelf life though) This would require you to have a friend help you with building the machine. You might actually find you enjoy making your own machine. It is pretty easy. I am barely computer literate compared to many forum dwellers but find I enjoy it.
