I have been searching for a website to buy a new gaming PC on, but I have a feeling I am missing some of the more popular ones. Besides dell.com, can any of you suggest any websites I should check out to buy a new gaming PC? I' not looking to spend $4K or anything like...just something that will play SWtOR really well on and that has an HDMI output. Thanks in advance!

Seems like I've heard pretty good things about http://www.ibuypower.com/

You could also try newegg (duh). I believe they have some bundles (including some from ibuypower).

if you want a truly custom pc, then ibuypower.com or cyberpowerpc.com

If you just want something with HDMI out that can play SWTOR, then you could just buy a Studio XPS from Dell. :P

I know you said you're looking to buy and not build, but I just built my own for the first time (and my first upgrade since 2004) and it was pretty easy.

I used mostly the specs from here:

and bought the parts through Newegg. It was under $1000 and it plays Battlefield 3 and Skyrim smoothly on very high settings.

I usually look up the overpriced version on Alienware, then buy the parts for the same machine on Newegg and spend a couple hours putting it together.

Yeah I've only used newegg.com for my computer purchases.

SW:ToR has pretty minimal system requirements, or at least when I played it, it didn't seem that system intensive.
