Got these from ads rofl... I want a PC under $1000 which can play relatively high graphic games.

HP Pacilion Slimline Desktop PC featuring AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800 with 20" Widescreen BrightView LCD Monitor
-2gb memory and 500 gb hard drive
-NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Graphics.
blahblahblah, dont care about other things. Its priced at $550.

The next one:
Hp Pavilion MEdia Center Desktop PC featuring AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ with 20" Widescreen Brightview LCD Monitor.
3 GB Memory and 500 GB hard drive.
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Graphics.

Which one is the better buy? Or do both of them suck >.>
 
If all you want to play is Rollercoaster Tycoon, you would probably be fine with integrated graphics. If you are looking to play anything remotely new, at high settings, there's no chance in hell.

The bottom line is this: if you want to game, you don't want integrated graphics. That doesn't mean you can't buy a prebuilt system and put in a good, separate video card. Both of the processors in those systems are weaker for gaming though...you can find better.

I would recommend that you at least consider building your own system. It isn't hard, and you can build one hell of a gaming system for $1000. Let us know what your plans are considering that.
 
actually, the processor of the 2nd one listed is decent. if you'd like, you can buy that pre-built system and buy a separate dedicated GPU to play games if you cba to build an entire system from scratch.
 
both of them suck compaired to home built machines, the second one is the better of the two, but you can have a much better machine then both of them, and hp's customer support is terrible to work with in my past experiences
