EDIT:
I'm in Tennessee also, and I built both Intel and AMD recently.
***************************************************************************

For your price range, your best option would be to build a gaming PC. get the parts from Newegg, they have the best prices.
Here are 2 options for you:

Building an Intel based gaming PC:

Intel Core i5-2500K ($220) or i7-2600K ($320) with a socket LGA1155, Z68 chipset, SATA III, USB3.0 motherboard ($125 and up)
If you got money to spend, you can get one of the 2 best, newer 3rd generation Intel Core six core processors, with an LGA2011 socket, Intel X79 chipset motherboard ($250 and up)
Intel Core i7-3960X ($1,050) or the Intel Core i7-3930K ($600), both of them six core processors, the world's best processors.
As all Intel stock CPU coolers suck, get an after market Coolermaster or Sunbeam twister with 120mm fan(s) CPU cooler and Arctic Silver thermal paste ($40 to $60)
RAM 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 or 1333 G.Skill Ripjaws X Series ($40 to $50 and you won't ever need more RAM)
Hard drive: 1TB or 2TB SATA III 7200rpm hard drive, I recommend Seagate Barracuda or Samsung Spinpoint.
For best overall performance, you could add an OCZ Agility 3 SATA III SSD - 90GB or bigger - for your OS install and keep the 1TB or 2TB for file storage (adds another $160 to $240)
At least a GeForce GTX460 or better graphics card ($150 and up)
Choose based on benchmark (2300 or better score) from here:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
A 600watts or bigger brand name power supply such as Enermax, Cooler Master, OCZ, Antech, Silverstone, etc.($50 to $100)
Any PC Case with power supply mounting on the bottom and plenty of space inside for proper air flow and cooling ($50 to $100).
A $20 DVD-RW drive, no need for Blu-Ray.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM ($100 on newegg)

Building an AMD based gaming PC:

Zambezi (Bulldozer) series Six Core AMD FX-6100 ($150) or Eight Core AMD FX-8120 ($200) or AMD FX-8150 ($270) processor
with an AM3+ 990FX SATA III (6Gb/s) USB 3.0 motherboard ($130 and up)
A Cooler Master or Sunbeam Twister AM3+ CPU cooler, as the stock AMD cooler might not be good enough especially if you want to do overclocking. ($30 and up)
The rest is the same as for Intel based above.

Good luck.
