Before I even start let me note: I DO NOT WANT TO BUILD MY OWN COMPUTER
OKAY. So now that that's clear, let's begin.
I want to purchase a new gaming desktop. I currently use one from IBuyPower but since then they sent me 2 DOA desktops (which I had refunded) so I don't want to purchase from them anymore.
With that said, what company can I purchase a high end gaming desktop ranging up to 2200 dollars?
Some I've been looking at:
- OriginPC (seems more overpriced than alienware)
- Alienware (Have used their laptops)
So please comment below saying which of the above, or a different, company that I should order from.
Note if you say I should just build my own because it's more cost-effective, I will ignore your comment, since I already know this.
Thanks.

Go on a local retailer, or newegg.com and look for a prebuilt computer you like!

Also I was thinking about these 2 options for video card:
Dual 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660
OR
2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680
which would you guys recommend

you say you do not want to build it your self, specify this further:
do you want to select the individual components yourself?
do you want to assemble individual components yourself?
you can usually go with any combination of the two. you can ask people to put together a list of parts for you to assemble, you can select a couple of parts and then order them at a place that assembles them for you, you can just buy a finished rig without doing anything yourself or you can do both tasks yourself as well. which of these things are you trying to avoid? From your second comment it sounds like you just don't want to do the assembly but still select the parts?

i want either a pre built rig with the components near of what im thinking of
or
what im used to which is selecting my customization on a site and they build it

I just have to wonder why you don't want to build it yourself, seems like a gross waste of money to me.
You could try Cyberpower or Newegg/NCIX

A SLI-setup with 2 non-top-end cards is rarely worthwhile. You're almost always better of getting a more powerful single card.
Anyway, head over to the computer build resource thread, give a good description of what you need (budget, preferences, types of games you play, etc...) and you should be able to get a good list of components from the people there. Take that list to a retailer that offers assembly (plenty of them do, usually it's around $50 or so) and you've got yourself a machine that's custom-built to your specs and cheaper than any pre-made machines with a pricy brand-name on them.

Judging from his question for the GPU comparisons, he obviously isn't competent enough to build his own so might as well keep that question to ourselves. Those boutique companies like Cyberpower and Origin tend to be more expensive, you're paying more for service and brand name, try using NCIX. Though I'm not sure if they provide the same 50$-100$ charge service for putting together your components like they do in Canada as I personally rarely use that website.
