These gaming computers are a load of crock. Go to Walmart and buy the 
cheapest computer you can get with a PCI-E 16x slot.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5982771
$348 Compaq Presario SR5113WM (Athlon 64 X2 3600+, 1024 MB  PC2-5300, 
160 GB SATA 7200RPM, dual-layer dvd burner)

Go to Newegg and buy a mid-range graphics card.

$120 PNY VCG7900SXPB (GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3)

You've got a perfectly-fine PC for gaming. There's no reasons for a 
consumer desktop computer to cost thousands of dollars.
