So I've been looking into computers around $1600-$2000 and the best one I've found is a desktop with specs as follows for around $1900.

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6700 (4MB L2 Cache,2.66GHz,1066 FSB)
RAM: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 2 DIMMs
Memory: 160GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive (10,000RPM) w/DataBurst Cache
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB
Physics Accelerator: AGEIA® PhysX® physics accelerator
Sound Card: Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic (D) Sound Card

Could someone make any suggestions for better options or where I could get something like this or better for under $2000? This is just the desktop and I built it on dell.com, it was a dimension desktop which now seems to have been taken off the site. (probably temporary, due to lack of inventory)
