Is this a decent PC for $700?

[Neave]

That video card is as good as onboard video cards :\ Nvidia just came otu with 7150 Onboard. I recommend ATLEAST 7600 or 8500 and 500 Watt PSU

[Fatboy_Rob]

yes, ive looked at them -_-

Also, i wanted to get somthing that can run that game with no lag, and run better games...

Also, i think i will get this, maybe in Incometax times (in about 2-3 months!)

[PMP]

damm, the dollar is rly down. you can buy pc's at the same price in there, but the dollar is almost at half.

BTW the model isn't available here which means it's US only.

LOL @ Walmart
Idk but in here we have supermarkets only for computing like vobis and worten and chip7 etc..
I don't usually buy tech stuff along with my monthly supplies, but what do I know, I live in Europe, theres no walmart here yet.

Has consumer I have one advice, warranty, always buy with warranty.

Cheap entry-level -- professional-level gaming computers. In most cases it's much cheaper to build your own computer. But IBuyPower.com is basically the same price as building your own. Just don't get an 8500GT (nVidia of course) or an X1650 GFX card. Make sure you get 2+ GB ram, and 2.2GHz + Processor. I suggest dual core (AMD 64 Athlon X2)
