Garcian's build is pretty nice, but the RAM is a little overkill. Might as well get a better video card while you're at it and you can look into playing games on higher settings.

Newegg/TigerDirect ftw.

In all though, building is the better option. Pre-built PCs are stupidly overpriced. It's not that difficult, you can probably find a guide to building your own computer online along with warnings on what not to do. Do a little research, and save a lot of money, and get a better product in the end.

4 GB isn't really overkill. It's just the max that you need for gaming. You could drop down to 2 GB, but you'd take a substantial performance hit in both games and everyday computing, and it's only a $40ish difference.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
