The good things you've heard about New Egg are from people who buy parts to assemble a machine themselves, not from people who buy a prebuilt computer there. They don't make their own prebuilt computers, but merely pass on computers built by other companies. That gets you all of the same problems as a prebuilt computer from those other companies. If you get one of the iBuyPower ones from New Egg, then they first thing you'll need to do when it arrives is to replace the power supply yourself, as the power supplies they use in their prebuilt computers are awful.
The base configuration with no upgrades comes to $800 before rebates. If you insist on a prebuilt, then you could do worse than that and probably will. That configuration at least won't stick you with any cheap junk parts.
Hey man I might go with that one. Thanks. Do you know if thats upgradable? say in the future i want to upgrade the grahics card is that easy to do?

Yes, it would be pretty easy to upgrade the processor only, the video card only, or the memory only. That's one of the advantages of getting decent quality parts up front. Depending on what else you add, you might need to add a case fan, too, but that's easy and cheap ($10 for a nice fan, less for a cheap one) to do.
Though if you want a faster video card, you could just buy a faster card today. The cards they offer at that link have performance roughly proportional to the price, and a 6870 will get you better than double the performance of a 6750. But that pushes things further out of your budget.
@ OP the first computer your frame rates will be around 30 FPS from people who have the same card.
for the 2nd computer i'm guessing with the graphics card around 30 to 40 as well.
It's better to get a powerful vid card to play this game. vid card of 130 dollars or more. for the Nvidia cards try the 550's to the 590's (i have dual 590's) for Ati cards i would go 6700 or higher for thier models. that is my opinion.
From the frineds and people I have met playing the game. the lower end cards sometimes have troubles so the 520 nvidias and the 6400 and 6500 ati's might not have the best frame rates

depends on how big of a video card you want to upgrade to
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
