The absolute best PC for $1200 dollars?

I was looking at an iMac. It's $1200 dollars.

-4GB DDR3 ram

-3.06 ghz core i3

-500gb 7200HDD

-ATI Radeon HD 4670

The thing I actually like most is the gorgeous screen display so....

Where can I buy the best PC + screen that rivals the imacs for $1200?

Thank you!

I almost cried when I saw the price for such old/medocre equipment.

You never really told us the size of the screen... In terms of a computer specs, the specs of the box could be beaten very easily for $800, and then spend $400 on a really nice IPS panel monitor. Just after a really quick search.... However, I would probably do more digging to find a better deal or build myself.

Edit- Oh, its a Mac I forgot how much they rob you.

You could build a PC with two latest generation Video Cards, double the ram, latest generation processor, double the HD size & additional HD, and have a better motherboard, PSU, case, & blue ray burner than what that mac is giving you.

They're charging $1200 for that!? It's a damn shame that Apple can get away with this and still sell a ton of these.

Macs have mediocre display...i have 3 screens that mac cant touch. 30" eyefinity ;p

worst monitor suggestion ever

Hell, Best buy in todays ad had a better comp for $1200. 20" monitor 1 tb HD, 8gbRAM Radeon 5770, forget the cpu. Still though, and they usually throw in a free printer.

You want a pre built? You can make a crazy overkill rig for 1200 if you build it yourself.
