I'm assuming you don't want to build a computer yourself. If you do, you can get something very good under $1000. But these two I found are pretty decent. They come with GTX460s (which are very good gaming cards. They come pretty close to my 6850) and high end processors (trust me, you don't need an i7 CPUs for gaming unless you want a computer over $1700. Go for the good graphics cards, and skip the fancy overpriced i7s).

Knowing that I just built a PC myself, these are VERY good prices for a Deskop PC with thier specs.
Otherwise, look for a PC with an i3/i5 or a Phenom II with 3Ghz or greater and 2 cores at the very least. For a graphics card, look for a 5770 or greater/GTS 450 or greater

I don't care where you find it at. As long as it has a minimal shipping cost, like not half the damn price of the computer just to ship it. The only thing I want is Windows 7 home premium, not windows 8. The reason i don't dare look myself is I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I want to be able to play WOW, Skyrim, SaintsRow, open world type stuff.
THIS IS WHAT I'VE FOUND, AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT'S EVEN ANYWHERE NEAR GOOD.

Answer
That one is overpriced and mediocre in in performance.
$899 delivered.
The 970A-G45 motherboard is listed as Crossfire but not SLI compatible according to MSI. That makes the crossfire at reduced performance vs an SLI one. Similar but inferior to 970A-G46.
Crappy power supply
Builds up for $732 with a better motherboard
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2krMK
Will browse around at options if you don't want to build your own.
Part of the $732 is Windows 7 Pro, and they provide a license but do not show the disks.
The build of parts is superior in a couple of ways.
ADD:
Digital Storm is a good quality builder out of California and has a price set semi-custom:
http://www.digitalstormonline.com/vanquish.asp
The $800 plus shipping comes out slightly cheaper and boosts graphics to GTX 650 TI Boost. The Haswell Core i3 is gaming comparable to an FX-4350. The power supply is of better quality even if lower in wattage. There is no bluray and Windows 7 is Home premium. They do not include wireless ($9 card) but adds an interior lighting strip of equal value.
GTX 650 is a bit below an HD 7770.
This approximates the gaming difference from ebay to the equivalent Digital Storm:

Digital Storm Vanquish Level 2
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ksmS
Buildup cost only $645
Raised to the $1059 model
$918.35 to build it (plus $10 light stick)
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ksvo
The iBuypower special can be adjusted down slightly and is a better value than Digital Storm, but not as high a quality build.

iBuypower build up to match the $957 would be $1111, but gives a few extras and a better motherboard.
The $860 system is the best deal. It does not have the CPU overclocking of the $1100 (after delivery) but is performance similar.

Build up cost is about $800 plus keyboard and mouse. It is an excellent value system.
the $860 at Newegg is double the frame rate of the ebay system:
