Ask Dr LJ - what's a good gaming PC these days?
I don't need the latest and greatest, but I am thinking about buying myself a new gaming machine (thus, PC) so I can pass my current one down to the kids.
I loathe do-it-yourselfing things; I just want to spec out a box then have someone build it and make it work. The less I have to frob with the hardware and software myself the happier I am.
ETA: I like playing reasonably graphics-rich games. I play Warcrack now, and am looking longingly at Skyrim. I don't tend to play FPS, so complex input devices and twitch-level control aren't necessary.
My budget for this is probably around $1k. Less is always better. I seem to buy a new machine every 3-4 years so if this one was reasonably capable of lasting that long before becoming hopelessly outdated that'd be good.
