    Need help deciding which Computer

    Hey guys, I've been using my shitty computer for 3 years now and I'm fucking done with this piece of shit. It's really outdated and such.

    Anyways, the problem is I have no idea which computer is good. I want a computer that is beast for editing clips such as Runescape in HD, Call of Duty, LoL, CS, etc. And also playing/recording games in MAX Quality, like recording Runescape in HD with NO lag. The computer I am currently using lags like hell when I record Runescape in the lowest setting, which is REALLY sad. My Runescape screen sometimes blacks out whenever I'm on a different tab, which is really irritating.

    I am looking for a computer ranging from 800~1.4K$ and will last me a very long time without any overheating/problems. I know building one yourself is much cheaper, but I'm a complete retard when it comes to building shit, so I rather not.

    My friend showed me this site and I looked some Gaming PCs up and saw this:

    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7239615&CatId=114
    Will this PC play/record RS in Max quality without any lag?

    How many movies can I download/fit?
    Is this a rip off?
    What are the chances of it overheating? I'm usually on my computer for around 5~12 hours depending on the day, don't judge lol.
    Vista or Windows 7?

    Check the "Specifications", "Key Features" and give me YOUR opinion if its a good deal or not.

    HELP =[

    I don't really think it's a good deall.

    You can fit like 100-200 dvd's but it depends how big they are. It won't overheat.
    windows 7

    Personally I'd build my own because it's cheaper and very easy. If I bought a pre-built one I wouldn't buy the one you chose.

    Ah it turns out I can't buy this PC cause they don't ship this one in Canada, so I went on their Canadian site and I found this PC:

    http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1157318&CatId=114

    Is it good?
    And again I'm not experience with this kind of stuff, so I would like some opinions.

    *EDIT*
    Oh and I'm not a FPS PC gamer, I usually just buy newer releases for my PS3. The games I mostly play are Runescape, League of legends, Minecraft, maybe CS and that's about it.

    Yes that's a very good setup. The only thing I'm not sure about is the CPU since I don't know anything about AMD chips.

    I don't know the exact conversion rate on CAD to USD but I'd assume it's like $1.4k USD, which is WAAAY overpriced imo. Also, you'll never even come close to using that PC to its full potential if those are the only games you play. You could build yourself a PC that'll do all that for like half the cost..

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I also have another question. Will the PC get damaged if the Liquid Cooling leaks? And I heard you have to replace the water ever now and then?

    If the liquid cooling system leaks, it can destroy the computer.

    Closed loop systems won't leak unless you puncture them.

    Custom loop systems, even if you leak, if you leave them to dry for a few days they can survive.

    Leaks only occur if you're being an idiot with it anyway.
