Try CyberpowerPC or build the system yourself. Right now you'd be amazed at what $1100 will get you if you build the system yourself.

You'd have to invest at least another $150 into a PCI-E video card...the integrated 6150 LE doesn't cut it for gaming. Also, I question why HP would use PC2-4200 RAM when it should really have PC2-6400?

my dad recently bought a similar model. He only paid around $350 for it and it wasn't worth it, the graphics card will need a upgrade the cpu is OK, the model my dad has can barely run counterstrike source or battlefield 2 at lowest res and settings. For $1000 and a bit of research you can build your own computer that is a much better system.
