How much are you paying? You could get a better computer if you build it your self.

Welcome to the forums. That looks like a decent PC held back slightly by the GTX260. I don't know what you are paying but you can definitely get a better deal building yourself with the added benefit of being able to overclock that i7.

well my budget has dropped to 1000-1500 now lol..i honestly dont know anything about building a computer, etc...if anyone could help me out making the best gaming rig for around $1300 averagish?..when building a computer do you literally mean building one, or say going to a online store, choosing your stats, they build it, then send it to you?
