I say your best choice is # 2, My opinion.

Modern games take a lot of HDD space where talking about GB. So you need as much disk space as you can get.

also if you want to play the games with the best display, integrated video wont do you much good. Your better off with something external like a PCIe or PCI VGA.

And processing power # 2 is pretty good. Will be able to run those games pretty good.

Hope I could help

Throw those options all away. None of them are worth buying or upgrading today.

Your CPU will be bottlenecking you on newer GPUs.

its not about what cards. Alotta ppl fall for that (OMGF 1TERABYE HD AND 8 GIGS OF RAM). Those are scammers.

Make sure ur computer is quality, not quantity. For example, my laptop is 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHZ. The one you talk about is like 500~ which is fail imo.

If u have 3+ ram, get 64 bit or u won't be able to use it all. Also for graphic card, 256mb vram is good but you need a good one. 8700 gs nvidia or 3650 HD ati or better so you can play games like l4d2 on medium resolution high settings.

btw get dual core. better yet. get core 2 duo which is 2core 2 processor. Do not get 1 processor 2 core. Btw always loiok at mhz. better mhz = better system.

Also for hd, MAKE SURE U GET 7200 RPM. Ur 4000~ rpm sucks and it iwll make you run games slowly from you HD.

if you get gforce, get something more than 8000
if you get raedon ATI, get something more than 3000 HD

512mb/1gb MINIMUM. The amount of ram you'll need to get is dependent of your screen resolution.

Even better: get a quadcore. It'll play in your benefit. It doesn't have to be an i7 975 extreme, but a lower i5 will do just as good or i3 if you are on a budget.

As for AMD a triplecore if you are on a budget and a quadcore if you have a bit more money to spare.

nVidia= at least gts2xx series. It's a 9xxx series rehash if I'm not mistaken.
ATI= at least the HD4xxx series.

Hung has not stated what his budget is, so it'll be hard to determine what he can get.

Thanks for helping guys, im on a 200$ budget which sucks but thats why im on craigslist. I found this one and it seems i can play mw2 and crysis on low-med
Basic specs:
It has a overclocked (3.0 Stock) 3.3GHz Intel P4 Processor Extreme Processor
2GB team extreme PC3200 Memory 3-3-3-5 timings
80 GB High Performance HDD
7800GTO nVidia Graphics Card
400W Tru Powersupply
ECS Gaming Motherboard mATX
I will upgrade the graphic cards, ect as i go along but for now i would just like something that can play mw2 or aion on low even.

I stopped reading right there.

You obviously want a PC that is able to play games... within this budget it is basically impossible to get a complete rig that's worth buying or upgrading.

Save up and come back when you have about 500usd budget. Those will offer alot more power and futureproofing than the ones you listed.

he comp there seems like it can play some new games on low which is alot better since this comp cant even run cod2 but i will save up if it cant play mw2 on low with above 30fps, see im just learning how to put a computer together so i cant really just put a whole one together but i do know how to hook up the bits and pieces so i mean with that comp ill prolly swap out a graphics card and a cpu. t
