do you plan on using the computer for your gaming?...if you play PC game's that is

Integrated video won't run anything. You need a card.

 

[Neon Boy]

I think the most I will have on there is like the old Might and Magic games...for a friend of mine whose desktop fails right now since his motherboard decided it didn't want to work.

And thats changeable...I just don't feel like spending to much.

It's worth the extra $200 for a sweet card. Trust me. Five years from now you will still want to be playing games, right?

 

[Neon Boy]

True...and the only other card it comes with is the 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450

 

[Neon Boy]

Getting that video card only brings it up to like 560 bucks roughly...decent enough.

Yeah thats what I was going to say....or where I was going next.

*chuckles* Hey, fellow specsnerd. Have you seen the Acer Aspire? Not the Aspire One, that's a netbook, but the tower.

Alternately you can pay $100 now and $100 five years from now >_>

Acer's gonna wipe the floor with Emachines, HP, and compaq. Asus, too.

 

[Raven-Eve]

No doubt, Acer is the way to go.

I likes me acer but alas, they lack the whole store option on their website.
