I'm planning to buy a new desktop that will allow me to play games in maximum settings without lagging. Problem is, there's not much I know about building one so I'll be happy to settle with pre-built ones. I'd like the community's opinion about it.

What's more is that I don't understand these "dedicated" video memory system that they have. I'd really appreciate your replies

Hello and welcome..

Personally i see this only as a mid range gaming PC...If you want a high end gaming system it will cost more...Do you have a budget?

Hi and thank you Veeg!

Unfortunately, my budget is around $1000 only.

Could be tweaked a little depending on,
The OS you are using, Boxed retail or OEM?
Being able to use HDD or Optical drive from another computer?

This build would be a definite option,and is a lot better than that off the shelf PC..

If there is something else you think you need or want, you can also consider switching to an AMD based similar system and save a little more, since I noticed you had a monitor listed in there as well. This custom build is definitely better than the other one you were looking at.
