+1     It's very rare I take on a home computer issue anymore - I'd rather jab 
a  fork in my neck.

On a gaming computer - I plan on rolling my own next time around. While I'm not 
really a fan of building from scratch anymore, I still find it's cheaper to 
spec out my own hardware. Spend a couple hours finding the current hot mobo's, 
chipsets, video cards, RAM etc and run with it.

In my case I find out what was top of the line nine months ago and buy THAT. 
90% of the performance for 50% of the cost, if that.

Ok, long day, too little info;
It's a company gift to someone. I would rather someone else build it, and 
support/warranty it for the next 3 to 4 years. I am a little burnt out over 
home computer support (I left that work a year ago after 6 grueling years).

I'm not a hard core gamer, but if I was I'd probably build my own ... just 
built a new desktop/server, microcenter has the i7 quad core cpu for under $200 
now, and a mother board for about $200 that works with the i7 and holds up to 
24gb RAM... got it dual booting Win 7, and Win2008R2 with hypervisor ...
