pick out my next computer

So, my PC is a hurting unit. the mobo died, and after replacing it it still freezes up occasionally. now the good news.

I just won a pretty big case and am going to get a bunch of money, i will be setting aside around $1500 to buy a computer. im a tad busy right now trying to wrap up my law practice, get a 9-5ish job, and get the house ready for my soon to be born baby.

So, i dont think i will have much time to build and fiddle around with a computer, so need one completely built. i just need the pc, have monitors/etc.

So, sense i havent bought a premade pc in nearly a decade, where are some good/reasonable places.

Thanks, id like to get back to PC gaming sometime soon.

wait until the x79 chipset, just my 2 cents. to be honest i would at least wait for newegg's black friday sale. or wait until q1 next year, when intel releases their new cpu line up.

x79 chipset huh, interesting. what about nvidia, when is the 600's coming out?

The first GPUs based on Kepler will begin mass production in early 2012, but if you don't have the time to put it together then how will you ever have the time to swang your chain with us?!

btw good to hear from you visky and good luck with the newborn
