You could do what I'm doing and build your own PC. There is plenty of information online on what you need and how to do it and, if you do your homework, you'll be able to build it to exactly the specifications you want instead of spending hundreds on a brand PC without knowing anything about the internals.

I´d agree on that. I never built one myself, but an IT guy, that is into gaming and worked in an IT-shop, always built them for me.

In comparison to already fixed PCs in shops they were always way better for the same price, and I almost never had any probs with getting a game running.

Because of the guy having moved away, I will have to built my next one as well myself. (In case of emergency, that I mess something up, I have a friend, that as well already builts his own PCs.) On reddit there is an own subredit for selfbuilding your PC, that has lots of informations. :)

Buy one from eBay already built and upgrade the graphics card hard drive or add an ssd for faster game loading times.
