The title is just a brief description of what I'm looking for. First of all I am looking for a pre-built PC, for example, Alienware. Yes, I know building my own PC would be cheaper but I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to building one. Hence, why I am writing this topic. Unless someone knows of a known retail store that can put my PC together do not bother telling me what kind of build I should get.

My price range - $900 - $1,100
Don't tell me I can run CSGO on a $400 computer. I don't care, I want to spend as much as I can and go for gold.

What games I want to play the most in order for importance: CSGO, H1Z1, Gmod yadda yadda other games I can't think of.
I am mainly getting a PC just for CSGO so if the PC could be more CSGO oriented that would be perfect.

I really would like a Alienware just because it is a brand a friend of mine has and it seems to be the most know gaming PC brand as far as I can see. I have also noticed iBUYPOWER PC's but I have no idea where to start. Honestly recommend any PC to me but if any of those two brands match my standards just give me a go.

I obviously will also need PC accessories (keyboard, mouse, mousepad, headset). The only two gaming PC accessories companies I know of is SteelSeries and Razer. Once again I want the products that will get the job done for CSGO.

If you can help me out just reply, message me, or talk to me on Twitter @Walkeroos.

You're in the wrong place for pre-builts. As long as you don't have a single digit IQ, you can build a rig, it's not hard. In fact, it's very easy. You have to try very hard to break anything. Most components will only go in one way anyway so it's pretty difficult to screw up. You're not going to get a decent pre-built for your budget anyway. Any pre-built is going to use bad quality and low-end components so that the company can make as much profit as possible. No, Alienware and iBUYPOWER are not good, at all. Neither Steelseries or Razer offer any mehcanical keyboards with Cherry MX switches and are very overpriced.

Could you suggest anything to me then since I don't know what I am talking about? (pick some parts out for me)

Is it safe to assume you're not interested in overclocking? Also, will you need a monitor as well or do you already have one?

I do not know what overclocking means but yes I bought a $350 BenQ monitor for specifically made for FPS PC games like CSGO because I knew I would be getting a PC.

You can go to cyberpower and look there at some as well do not even go to alienware for anything. Theyre just like a name brand and are shit.

Ouch. That sounds like waste money. If it's a 1440p panel, that's not too bad but if it's a 1080p panel, that is a ridiculous price to pay. I'm willing to bet it's even a TN panel. A few dollars over;

Any cheap mouse pad will do and for a headset, I'd get something like a HyperX Cloud. You can easily add another 970 in SLI with this rig for more GPU power if you ever need to. Locked CPU so you can't overclock, which is fine anyway since you don't know what it is.

Cyberpower also suck.

That completely defeats the point of the forums. You could potentially give OP terrible advice and he'd take it because no one else can correct you if you PM him.
