What do i need to be looking for in a desktop for a gaming computer?

Q. need something that will run the upcoming games.bf3 diablo3 SW:Old Republic. what graphics card/processor is capable
i have a 2008 model dell desktop... could i just buy and install a new graphics card?

A. Dell is not designed for games, in all ways. You can potentially add video card but very weak, because good ones will stress PSU and you have a crappy one that will burn in flames under stress of GTX 560 or so. Also they use slow RAM and bad heatsinks that can not handle too much load on the CPU. It's a bad ideal to upgrade DELL.
Get a real gaming computer, best price range is around $800-1000 with Phenom II X4 or Intel i5 Quad, 4GB RAM and up, GTX 550 or ATI 6770 and up video cards, good case, PSU and CPU cooler.

What are some good beginner gaming computers?
Q. I am very new to gaming computers and I know I should build my own, but I want to first buy one premade since I have no idea how to make one. Give me some links to some if you guys can please. I don't need anything too advanced. All I really need is a gaming pc that will run all the recent games such as dishonored and things like that on medium settings with no lag. No serious power needed just some decent computers please. I don't have a price range right now but I would like to keep it under 750. I know that's low, but I have seen some decent ones that I am interested in that are cheap. So please let me know guys! Thank you!

A. Well, I could get you a very good gaming system, but you would have to build it yourself, BUT it is easy. Watch a YouTube vid and you are set, you just need a few tools and you can build it. It will safe you 100-200$ and you get the satisfaction of building it yourself. I based this off my 800$ high end gaming system and downgraded it some. Also, when building it yourself, not a whole lot can go wrong IF you watched a video. The CPU only fits in one way, same with the ram, sane with the video card. The parts are all built so that it is easy to build it yourself. This system is right at the border to a high-end system and even I would be very happy with it. It can take on any game at high to ultra settings with no lag.This video card can run Crysis 3 at High settings and BF3 at Ultra settings. In other words, its the most bang for your buck you can get. Also, It allows a lot of upgrading. For example if it gets slower you can stick a new GPU in it and upgrade to the 8-core AMD CPUs it supports. I built this system based on price, performance, and upgrade ability. Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1kOKQ

NOTE: Intel CPUs are more expensive, but don't heat up as quickly, but for 200$ extra, they aren't worth it. AMD CPU's are better for budget systems, and have a much higher price for performance rating.

Hope this helps,

DJ
