Before I tell this, don't hate me for saying I want a prebuilt. Okay? Anyways, so my current laptop can game on low. But I'm selling it as I can get more bang for the buck if I just buy a desktop. I'm going to get a prebuilt as I'm "not trusted" with hardware and building. Long story. What are some good prebuilts I can get under $900 USD that can be ordered from a reputable web site or store that can run most games on high or medium? I'm not looking to whore out on really high graphics as I'm used to low graphics and I don't have a lot of money to spare. Preferably off the store or businesses' Web site and in stock with shipping to the US that isn't too expensive.
Pre-builts are bad!

Might be a bit too expensive but I'll keep that in mind. I had my eye on a [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227274]slightly cheaper, but slightly worse iBUYPOWER.[/url]
build it

if you can't plug in wires and use a screwdriver then you're not going to be capable of using the computer anyway

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;25092012]build it[/QUOTE] Ace reading. Look. I know how. It's a matter of fact that "I'm not trusted too".

Aren't you the kid whose dad is a ruh-tard and doesn't trust you with anything in the computer illiteracy thread?
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113131[/url] Not a bad machine for the price... For a prebuilt.

Tell them they don't know jackshit about computers and that they should let you build it.
order the parts and build it without them knowing, while telling them you ordered a prebuilt. a month later reveal to them your awesome building skills.
Just explain to your parents that building a computer is essentially expensive Lego. All you're doing is plugging things in, slotting things into slots and screwing things in. You're not soldering or shit like that.
If you're that intent on getting a prebuilt, you should look into getting a refurbished model, like this one.

You can just buy the computer parts, and spend extra $20-$50 asking the guy at your local computer shop to build it for you.

ITT: A bunch of nihilists telling you to build it, or to build it. It is cheaper, it is more efficient. But not everyone can handle themselves around sensitive electronics, nor have the patience to piece it all together.

I'm capable of doing it - it's the fact I'm not able to as I couldn't really covertly by and build it. For one thing I don't have my personal credit card - the one I use is my 'rents. However I will see if I can order parts and get the local comp shop to build it for me.

If you have a local computer shop that would be one step up from prefab.
