i just built one at ncix! haven't bought it yet but will soon.. let me find specs and post it
edit: here it is

1 x PC Assembly and Testing With 1 Year Limited NCIX System Warranty (PRE-CONFIG WIN. OS If Purchased)
PC Assembly & Testing does not include servers and requires an additional 4-5 business days to ship once all parts are in stock. NCIX will install aftermarket heatsinks or pre-filled CPU liquid coolers. 1 Year Limited Warranty on installed system parts.
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 3.5IN 16MB Cache SATA3 Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
1 x Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core Unlocked Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB
1 x Intel 320 Series GEN3 40GB 2.5IN SSD SATA2 Solid State Disk Flash Drive OEM
1 x Please Use The Heatsink Included With My CPU -NOT Available With OEM Processors
1 x Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV mATX LGA1155 H61 DDR3 1PCI-E16 1PCI-E1 2PCI SATA2 Video Sound Motherboard
1 x ASUS DRW-24B1ST 24X SATA DVD Writer OEM Black
1 x Corsair Vengeance Blue Lowprofile 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Dual Channel Memory Kit
1 x AMD Radeon HD 6870 900MHZ 1GB GDDR5 4.2GHZ PCI-E 2 X DVI HDMI 2 X Mini Display Port
This video card is available only as part of a custom-built NCIX PC system.
1 x Coolermaster Haf 912 Black Mid Tower ATX Case 4X5.25 1X3.5 6X3.5INT No PS Front USB Sound
1 x Corsair CMPSU-400CX 400CX 400W ATX 12V 30A Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan

it's $974 before tax. but that includes the $50 assembly fee so if you want to put it together yourself it'll be cheaper. i also decided to get a 40gb SSD just to put windows and games on it so they load faster. but that's optional you can just use a regular hard drive. the video card is pretty good bang for the buck.. and the i5 is good enough for most things you'll want to do, i don't think i7 is really necessary. plus its unlocked too so you can overclock it if you want.

also debating whether i should get a water cooling system.. any ideas? and maybe a more powerful power supply.

this system should run your games fine.. probably games like battlefield 3 would be tougher on highest settings but i'm pretty sure it'll even run that on medium fine
