[QUOTE=Lertez;32645813]AMD Radeon HD 6450 Graphics with 1GB video memory........

But I wouldn't really get that unless I'm an animist for PIXAR. I'd recommend that you get a quad-core to six-core processor.

Video memory size is more of a requirement when you play at higher resolutions. A 1GB video card can be slower than a 512MB video card.
And don't forget, games are becoming more processor based, but the one on that computer isn't.. you know. Not saying that you can just have a shit GPU and be fine, no. You need Good of both.
You only need a 955 in order to play any game you want, and that will stay for quite a few years ahead.
I say go for it
You're a lot better off buying the parts separate and putting it together yourself. (If you can do that). [url]www.scan.co.uk[/url] These guys are what I used, considerably cheap and SUPER FAST delivery. And great customer support.

OP, if you can go up another hundred dollars, this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227314[/url] is a good prebuilt. I have it, and I can play most games pretty well. Lots of space, so upgrading is easy.
[QUOTE=Heatvision...;32653230]How long do you think it takes to put a computer together[/QUOTE] If you've never done it for, about 3 or 4 hours. It's not really hard, its like putting together legos, really expensive legos.
Shit that seems like a deal over here.
