HP P7-1254 AMD A6 3620 Quad-Core 8GB DDR3 1TB Desktop (Refurbished) for $349.99 + $5.00 shipping
Quad-core this. 1TB hard drive that. I'm sure that's all very impressive, but I gotta be honest. When you go on and on about things like a SuperMulti DVD±RW drive or a 15-in-1 memory card reader, all I hear is "Waaa waaa waaa ... waaa waaa ... waaa waaa waaa waaa ... OOH! Pretty colors!"
I am in the market to buy my teenage son a new computer and this one looks promising. My question is whether or not the Radeon HD 6530D video card can run games like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2. Can anyone guide me on this particular point?
@rhm54: Unfortunately, this computer isn't exactly powerful enough to deal with most modern games. Your son is going to be stuck playing games like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, and other "pseudo-retro" games with this setup.
Edit: also, a new PSU and GPU will set you back less than $200 and provide much more value than the base system.
