Q. i want a computer that will run multiple games and still work perfectly
A. I would strongly advise you to stay from brands like Alienware-Dell, iBuyPower, Cyberpower, etc. These brands are usually pricey and will cheat customers into buying components they don't need. If you know how to build a computer or know someone who does, that would be better since you can save a lot more money. You can actually build yourself a computer, it isn't difficult at all.
What kind of games are you trying to play? Crysis, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, etc.? If you aren't going to use it for anything other than gaming, a fast dual core CPU is the best (or a triple core AMD Phenom II X3). Don't be fooled by people who tell you that quad cores are the way to go. The reason for that is software (especially games) have yet to catch up with hardware. Unless you need your PC to edit media, 3D design and others, a quad core isn't necessary. However if you want to future-proof for upcoming games then go with a quad core.
As for a video card, ATis are currently the way to go. The HD 5870 will handle any game you throw at it like a champ. If you want a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080, a 1GB version of any video card you choose is a must.
4GBs of RAM is a minimum, especially if you going to run Windows Vista or 7. DDR2 is cheaper but for the sake of future-proofing, DDR3 is a must.
Depending on what you decided to get, I can guarantee a PSU of 550w is going to be the minimum. You can't go wrong with Corsairs, even if they are a bit expensive. If you want to save a bit of money on your electric bill, I highly advise you to go with an 80 Plus certified PSU.
If you don't want to go through all of that, then here's my recommendation

a good gaming computer build under 1000?
Q.
A. The computer I built a couple months ago only cost $750. So far it's been running pretty well. It can even run Crysis on high settings at 1280x1024 without a problem. It has an Intel e6850, 2gb of RAM, 512mb 8800GT, a 500gb hard drive, motherboard (forgot exactly which model), and an Antec900 case. A new generation of video cards came out recently, so the price of the older cards (which are still good) should be cheaper.
