The graphics are really Good by what I've seen, and the cost of what I customized it at is $1,199 USD.  It's pretty good, my friend has one and it's almost the same just with an AMD eight core processer which is just crazy! But overall his is really good, it can run GTA IV ETS2 and battlefield on Highest Settings, so it's a pretty good system I've seen

Well, since today windows 8 came out my computer is no longer avaiable as i had it so i had to go with another. As bad as i didnt want Windows 8,because it sucks, i had to a few new specs:
Operating system: Windows 8  >:(
Graphics card: 2 GB Amd Radeon 7770
Hard drives: 1 TB hard drive with 16gb disc cache and a secondary hard drive of 1 TB
so all of this cost me a little more for a total of $1,530 USD so this sucks and idk if i can probably get it now, it just depends on if my parents can :/

thats the pre-built, overpriced af
if u make a pc urself u pay less and u get beter specs
even if u dont know much about pcs just go to some "pc shop" and let them build a pc for u.

QuoteOperating system- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I hate when they include OSes
QuoteProcessor- 3rd Generation Intel(R) Core I7-3770K Quad-core [3.5GHz, 8mb shared cache]
It's okay...
QuoteMemory- 10GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
1333MHz, non-binary memory amount, no shgydgy.
QuoteHard Drive- 2 TB 7200 rpm SATA
So generic
QuoteGraphics-1GB DDR3 AMD Radeon HD 7670
SHIT
QuoteSound card- Beats Audio-integrated studio quality sound
Beats is literally worse than Chairman Mao and Kin Jong Il combined.

Build a PC, it's like playing with freaking Legos, but it's just a tad more expensive.

Your other computer which you recommended:
Complete Shit, don't even bother, build yourself a PC, seriously.

Now if it wasn't true, I wouldn't be saying it, would I? Spend as much time as you want on the pre-built market, but you will never find an accordingly priced gaming desktop. That's why so many people build their own PCs.

This is what you get from Hp, Dell, IBM such, they bottleneck some component and install most of the times the OS for you too without  any repair CDs or then they partition like 250GB out of 1TB for "backup" and incase the hard drive will fail ýou will lose the OS "backup" too

+ You most of the times build a PC cheaper than the closest prebuilt package is compared to your custom PC

10GB is an odd amount of RAM. You want to buy them in pairs so they work in Dual Channel (like 4+4GB) for maximum efficiency.
Also, Get an SSD drive for the OS. You'll thank me later.

hmm i also got a pavilion but they always need 1 or 2 things to be upgraded so if possible build yourself 1 its much cheaper :D
