As in a company such as Dell, Gateway, and HP for whole systems? or are you referring to the best companies to go with as far as parts? I dont recommend ANY prebuilt company personaly, all my computers are custom built and I dont think I'll ever change that.

I've bought my last two systems from www.ibuypower.com and have had really good experience all around. Their components are good quality, and I've been happy with them on the whole.

That being said, I've also heard that www.velocitymicro.com makes a good system, but I haven't ever bought from them so I can't really vouch for customer service, price, etc

It all depends on your budget,

Have a look here to start with:-

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/produc...d=43&catid=781

Then have a look here:-

http://www.alienware.com/product_det...de=SKU-DEFAULT

Then have a rethink about certain high street/mail order PC retailers.

If Alienware can't provide you with a high end gaming PC then I suggest that you look for a time machine and bring a PC back from the future!

Good luck in your search

Oooh, Dell, that's not good. Would you still eat at Claridges if they were bought out by Burger King?

I recently built my own high-end rig, so I don't have any direct experience with pre-built systems, but I really enjoy reading the reviews at this site.
http://www.hardocp.com/reviews.html?...VudGh1c2lhc3Q=
These guys don't pull any punches at all and if I was going to buy a pre-built system, I would feel pretty solid about selecting any of their higher-rated systems. These are the most thorough and really brutally honest reviews I've seen anywhere.

I normally build my own but cyberpower got there hands on the Intel 2duo before they hit the selves, so I order the PC I'm using now from them, you can pick and choose what you won't and they will build it.

Hell I might even let them build my next one:hmm:
