I think a Core i7-based system is good for your price range, but make sure it comes with a good video card(either ATI 48xx series or Nvidia 88xx, 98xx, or 2xx cards)
I would recommend this:

i wouldn’t buy from a store or anything like that,
you won’t get that great of a computer.
they make the prices higher than it needs to be for they make profits.
i mean, after charging you for the shipping and all that junk too.
high priced, lower quality.
and most computers you buy will just be ‘general’ computers,
which are like. decent all around, and not that great specifically for whatever you need it for.
if you want the best computer you can get for your money, then i would suggest going to nanafriend.
they’re not a big company but they’re amazing.
what they do is talk to you, and build a computer personally for you, based on being best for what you want to use it for. best quality you can get for your money, they really know their stuff.
they go by whatever budget you have, and provide a lifetime of support and all that. they’re really cheap, you basically only pay for the parts to build your computer. and you can request specifics if you want,
and they go through it all with you and even let you choose your case and all that. they’re really cooperative.
i just bought a computer from them a while ago and am extremely satisfied.
it’s definitely the best deal you can ever get for your money, the only other thing that would be any cheaper is to build it yourself, but it would still cost around the same price. they show you everything that’s going into buying the parts and all that, all brand new from the company too. check them out, i’m sure you will be very happy with them.
