I was looking around and saw: http://cybertronpc.com/customkititems.as...ew=details . Not sure how great this one is, but for $550, it seems pretty damn decent.
its hard for me to recommend any prebuilts as they always have some sort of fault with them in the long run, be it that its usually designed to use cost cutting mechanisms (e.g propietary mobo with lack of driver support for O.S, weaker PSU, unbalanced hardware specs(e.g pairing an i7 with a 20$ gpu)
as for the computer in question, You arent going to get really far with richland as the APU(cpu + gpu) as its designed with the older amd VLIW in mind with bulldozer's cores(not a good combination)
of course I would personally say learn and build a basic PC myself(its relatively easy hardware wise, software usually ends up with more problems) but I understand that people do think its a bit daunting at first.
If building a computer is out of the question, its actually cheaper if you buy a cheaper pc with an okayish cpu and replace the PSU and add a gpu in it compared to buying a "gamer" oriented pc. Moreso if you end up buying an older refurbished unit and replacing the psu/gpu
