Hello all,

I am new to the forums and thought this would be a good resource for me to get some help. I am senior in college about to purchase a desktop that will last me a while, do basic things, and is capable of casual gaming. I played wow for years and want to graduate to GW2 as well as purchasing a new computer. What do you all think of this, according to futuremark it meets the recommended requirements. Any help is greatly appreciated.

well the GPU seems to be integrated and weak for gaming, so you would probably want better one.
you can check some performance comparing here http://community.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu

you can generally double the performance of any "box" computer, for the same amount of money by building it yourself - check out newegg.com
