Not going to game much on that 3200 video card. You will end up switching out that video card to play any serious games...and you are going to have to check the specs on the power supply as you might have to change that out too, in order to handle a more high powered video card. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009

Are you sure about Crysis? That game stresses out about any box...even modern games are less intensive. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009

Unfortunately most pre-built machines, regardless of company, will tend to cost a lot more than a self built machine.
If you really want the cheapest, most customisable machine - self built is the way to go.
If you do opt for a pre-built however, aim for one that has a better processor than video card, as video cards can be more easily updated.
The only caveat there is that a lot of the pre-bult machines have generic PSU's that potentially can affect video card upgrade options. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
