Please do not eat me alive for asking this, but I need a new computer. My old custom built one died (I suspect a dead mobo after some troubleshooting) and I want a new one. I see that Costco has Ibuypower machines, and they have one I like for $999. I know ibuypower doesnt have the best reputation but I assume prebuilt (rather than custom built) machines would be better. Anyway, I do have enough confidence to replace anything except the mobo and CPU if anything happens to go bad. I simply don't have the time or patience to build a new system myself now.
Anyway my main question is, is this machine good for the price and am I totally screwing myself with getting it?

I would not be using it for heavy gaming but I would like to be able to play some newer games (Starcraft II when it comes out, Elder Scrolls, etc.)
If this is a totally bad choice, recommendations on where to buy a new machine would be awesome. Thanks!
