Q. My eMac broke about a week ago, and the cost to fix it will be greater than I think is worth while. However, I would like to get a new computer. However, this time, I want a good gaming computer. My price range is from $0 - $750 . I don't know much about computers, so links would be great. Thank you!
Answer
Shop the sales and build it youself. Newegg often has the best prices.
For an example of what you can get shopping around for sales, see:

push the CPU to AMD 5000+ and the video to 8600GT or GTS (w/DDR3) and you would have a good game system for under $500 w/o monitor. Add a 22" wide for well under $300 (My 22" wide westinghouse was $220 at a BestBuy sale) At under $800, THAT would be a good gaming system at a very good price.
(You could save $50-75 by dropping to an 8500GT, but you would lose about half of your gaming speed!!!)
(You can also save $50-75 by dropping to a 19" wide or regular, but the 22" is really nice and wide screen is better for dvd movies and a few games.)
Use an old XP you have lying around. I would avoid vista for a while yet.
Happy gaming :)

Karl is right to some extent. The Macs are good looking computers but that's about it; he obviously ignored the part of your question that states "GAMING". Since you are looking for performance and playing games then look into a PC.
Since you are looking into spending so much money I would try out a custom PC site:
cyberpowerpc.com
falcon-nw.com
digitalstormonline.com
ibuypower.com
