Im building off Dell.com, because i can't build my own. (Apparently)

PROCESSOR:                  AMD Athlon™ II X2 250 (3.0GHz, 2MB) 
MEMORY :                       4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 4 DIMMs
HARD DRIVE:                  320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
VIDEO CARD:                 nVidia GeForce GT 220, 1024MB

Tell me if anything should improve.

Processor is meh. Graphics card is crap. You would be MUCH better off building the computer yourself. It would cost anywhere from 10-40% LESS then if you bought a computer with the same parts from dell.

Well, graphics card is the best on dell.com, and the processor, whats wrong wif it?

Also, im sure a GTX220 is better than a geforce 6150SE


The processor is only a dual core, which will be outdated within a few years, while quad cores and above will be "good" for much longer. Yes a GT 220 is better then a 6150. Dell does sell computers with more powerful graphics cards, but only with select models. As I said before, you would be MUCH better off building your own. If you REALLY can't, don;t buy that Dell computer with a graphics card, you could save a lot of money and get a much better card by buying your own from Tiger Direct or newegg.

Well, how can i tell if one is a quad core, all i see are numbers.

Also, i cant even move my current computer to a new case, you think i can completely build a new one?

All i want is a computer than can play games decently.

under $1000

If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you can easily build a high end gaming rig for $1000

So tell me a loving website that builds computers for you.

I meant you can buy the parts yourself and put them together. I can give you a list of stuff if you give me like 10 mins.

The last time i spent 2000 dollars on computer parts, ans the motherboard broke, i am NOT building another computer.

Just give me a site that builds them for me.

Ok well if you cant build a computer yourself, you should at least have the brains to know that any place that builds computer for you will ALWAYS sell it to you for more then what the parts are worth, because they have to make money.

I think 500 for the computer above is a reasonable price, when i got my current one for $325.98
