Ok, Im thinking about trading my 360 for a gaming pc. The main reason is I need a good computer to do a lot of educational programs that may be require. I know a lot of 360 games can be found on the pc (and usually better eventhough I will miss gears of war series quite a bit to be honest).  Now that I have gave you guys my background of my situation, I need a gaming desktop that can be found in a retail store (target, walmart, bestbuy ,ect...). Give me links and try to make a bit affordable please.

P.S. Also, the computer I have wont run newer programs that good and it is annoying.

You're going to have to give approximate price ranges you can afford, and approximate location so we know where you are and what retail stores are available to you

Could you not buy online? You tend to get better deals than bricks and mortar retail.

Ok, the main store should be best buy. And Im new to pc gaming so whatever is the cheapest pc gaming machine their is. Then, we will work from there.

I dont like online stores, sorry

Ah

Best Buy is going to be...severely expensive if it's a "Gaming Computer" Would be cheaper to buy a good computer from best buy, and then Order a video card online, or buy the video card seperate, in most situations

What is the price range for a gaming computer at best buy?

My PC cost me 1300 including the evil NYS tax.

Windows 7 64-bit

HD Radeon 5850 1GB VRAM

Intel i7 860

8GB DDR3

Got it from J&R.

Damn good PC.

Video cards are typically non-existant in a computer under 800 at Best Buy
