Im getting a new computer within the next few weeks/months and im wondering what would be the pros/cons of these computers, building my own computer isnt an option so i plan on buying one and upgrading. Price is a big consideration. I have to pay of the computer first then upgrade it. I plan on getting a Radeon 256mb video card, and upgrading to 1.5-2 gb of ram. Probaly also going to buy a 100gb external hardrive, maybe a 200gb. The computer is going to be used for mid range online gaming, nothing real new, just Diablo 2, Halo, Joint ops., and games of that caliber.These are the computers ive found so far.

I don't have a steady income so its going to be on and off upgrading for it, but it just needs to run a few games so I wouldn't think it would need to be too highly priced.
 
I dont have the expierence and with prior expierences to the only help i can possibly get... its just not. So i'm just gonna stick with upgrading.
 
I would go with the first. It is similar to the system that I have, (see sig), and it plays COD2 and NFS/MW very well. You did not mention the videocard. All of these without videocard will do poorly at games. You might want to go with one of the others and get a VC as well, or get the first one, and wait for games until you can afford a VC. It depends on your work situation and your jones for games.:P
 
Actually i did say i would be getting a 256mb radeon, but its gonna take me a while to pay off this computer already so until then will this computer work with the basic video with the motherboard? it would just have to work with diablo 2 for a while till i can afford the vid card. pretty sure it would work cause my pos computer now works with d2 and all it has is an intergrated vid in the motherboard.
