Buying a computer.. Need help

Hey guys. I know the Star trek community would be able to help me out.

Now, I'm not technically proficient enough to build my own comp sadly. I know it's cheaper, but It's just not what I can do.
But I know what I want, so I have to settle on custom made comps.



So the question is..What's the best site? I'm looking to pay no more than 2k. I need it to be able to be a gaming machine of course.

So many sites out there, and very little reviews.

Alienware
IbuyPower
ABS
Voodoo
CyberPowerPC

And any others you can think of that you think is better.



So what's the best bang for my buck? Price, customer service, reliability? Thanks for the help.

    I can't suggest a brand, but I can suggest NOT getting an ATI Radeon graphics card. I bought one at the start of the year (powercolor 5850) and it is a piece of ****. The drivers for it are awful, they crash and I have to restart at LEAST once a day, for totally random reasons- fullscreen youtube video? crash! play a 2D game? crash! spend too long browsing the internet? crash! Go to the ATI forums and you'll see plenty of other people suffering the same TRIBBLE.

    Totally regret not going nvidia this time around, my geforce 8800GTX was solid as a rock.

    I definitely will go Geforce anyway. I always have, and never had any problems. They have worked for me. My old 7800gt is still running like a champ.

    Just wondering what the best sites are to get a custom pc.
