As for Rage_3K_Moiz what makes your computer better then the one i made?
 
Better-looking (IMHO; looks are subjective, after all) case and better-performing CPU. I've also added a monitor, keyboard & mouse, which I see you said you don't need, so removing that should bring the price to around $900-ish.

BTW, if you're able to, you'd save a lot of cash if you built your own PC or had a friend build one for you. You'd need to just buy all the components online, is all.
