I don't know if you have a Micro Center near you, but I bought my (new) computer from them. My father and I used to build our computers, but with me being so far away from him and our time being limited when we saw each other last summer, we decided it would be best to buy a computer. We researched what I wanted for a new computer and found PowerSpec to be a great product--it's Micro Centers product built with the stuff they sell in their store.
Here is a link to their PowerSpec computers

I got my computer on sale, it was a $1500 computer, on sale for less than $750 which allowed me to upgrade to a top of the line graphic cards and buy more internal hard drives. Micro Center does run sales, but when they do, we've noticed that the product goes quickly! I do not see my computer there (nor did I expect to find it, since it's been 9 months). But this one is equivalent to what I purchased

I also purchased a much needed/wanted laptop from HP Envy around the holidays.

I don't like scrapping on the laptop, I find it harder. But I like having it for appointments, sitting in the car waiting for the kiddos to come to the car, etc. I like having it to take with me. It's also been the laptop my son has used for his digital learning! I like having the laptop mirror in to my desktop, where I can scrapbook (if I want), access whatever I want from my desktop and for having it out in the living room watching tv with family.
