Graphic cards are the most important thing if you want to play games, and sadly that is the area most retail computers try to trim down on to make profit. They often try to lure you in with like 18 gigs of ram, and a dual core processor that is slow as forget but omg it is dual core!!! Then they just have integrated graphics and little kids think "OMFG DUAL CORE AND 18 GIGS OF RAM!!! I AM GOING TO BE ABLE TO RUN EVERYTHING WITH 18 GIGS OF RAM."
