I would build it, but if you are averse to that, I know people who have
purchased from here:

I agree with the others. Build it. Do some (or a lot of) research on
components, buy them from Newegg or Amazon (Amazon's return policies
can't be beat), and assemble it. I also agree with the SSD
recommendation for the OS and applications. You don't need anything
very large - 80 or 120 GB will be more than enough.
Is this system also going to be used as an HTPC? If you just want to
watch movies and TV in your office then noise may not be a huge
factor, but if it's going to be in your living room then I'd spend a
lot of effort making the system as quiet as possible. Large diameter,
low RPM fans, aftermarket CPU heatsink, passive cooling wherever
possible, maybe reconsider the 7200 RPM drive for a cooler, quieter
5400 RPM drive.

Subject: OT New home PC
Ok, it’s finally time to upgrade my aging home PC. I figured I could
just go
to Tigerdirect or BestBuy and pick up a good performing system but it
does
not seem like the case, if I want low to medium performance no problem
but I
want:
Intel I7, 8Gb RAM DDR3, HD 1 – 2Tb 7,200 rpm, AMD HD 5670 or better,
BlueRay
player, TV Tuner in a PCI x16 slot. Windows 7 64 bit Home. Is that too
much
to ask for? I did not think so but does now one else purchase high
performance PCs?
