Exactly. What I gathered is that the i7's price is not worth the minimal, if any benefit you receive while gaming.

BS I just built one for under that and it will handle anything you wanna throw at it.
Oh and 16 GB is overkill..

Thanks for the input fellas. I think I'm just going to build one since that seems to be the cheapest way.

At what resolution ? And at max settings ? And what frame rate ?

It can't run BF3 on max settings at a good framerate and I can tell you that without even knowing your components.
Just the appropriate video card and an i5-2500k would kill most of your budget.

Not only that, but you put your own copy of Windows 7 on there and it's not going to have all the bullshite sabotage crap that comes on prebuilt PC's.
Your memory, hard drive, case, motherboard, etc. will be 10x the quality of a prebuilt PC also... and cheaper.
The only good component that gets put into a prebuilt PC these days is the processor because intel makes very specific models that are always advertised as the selling point of the PC. I have yet to see a prebuilt one that has a decent graphics card in it either unless you go to a site like Dell and upcharge on the customization for 300% of what you could buy it for yourself.
