Check both of these companies out.

I'd rather spend some time troubleshooting (which I haven't, I just build something that works
) and installing an OS, than have to settle for something pre-build. Putting together a custom rig is better than an off the shelf system, but then I still wouldn't want to pay someone else to put it together; perfectly capable to do that myself. The money you save that way is wel spent on a better graphics card.
Imho any serious gamer should build his own rig.
I don't see the issue with doing an RMA either. Get a box, put the component in and write the adress + code on it, send it on it's way.
At any rate, welcome aboard.
