I need help choosing a desktop computer than can handle moderate online gaming. Please help?

Don't even think about Alienware. They are garbage, with a jacked up priced because they have an aesthetically pleasing plastic shell. Ebay is a great place to find nice, non-manufacturer made computers. If you do a quick search of gaming computer, you can find one in your price range (that you should have listed because I could help you find one). For example, immediately I found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTIMATE-AMD-QUAD-CORE-DES...

it is moderately priced, and do what you need to do. The only deal with these kind of computers is that you usually need to pick up a monitor/mouse/keyboard to go with it. A god thing is that you can customize it, and add things depending on your budget a lot of times if you scroll down.

I would recommend doing a self build, but you seem like you just want to buy a pre-made one.

SO,

Here's what you should be looking for in a computer that you buy:

i5/AMD FX: Cheaper than i7, but same gaming performance. Preferably one that has a stock clock of over 3GHz, and has four cores. i5 2500k is incredibly popular, and is about as good as it gets when it comes down to price to game performance.

A good, dedicated graphics card. Now this is where you can play with your budget. The computer listed has a 6670, which is the last generation model of AMD's mid level graphics card. It is popular, and can run most games at moderate settings.

Here is a video showing the cards performance in l4d2.^^ Not bad, if that's all you are looking for. If you are looking to upgrade, may I suggest something such as the NVidia gtx 560.

Next thing is the RAM, which is very cheap and you can upgrade at any time. Make sure you have no less than 4GB, or things will start to slow down. Personally, I recommend 8GB just because you can get 4GB x 2 for like 40 dollars now. Makes things load up a lot quicker, and make your PC seem really speedy.

Everything else is up to you, such as hard drive space, blu-ray drives, optical drives, speakers, peripherals, whatever.

Hope I helped! If you have any questions feel free to message me. I'll answer to the best of my ability.

Here's another I just built.

May seem pricey, but it has everything, like a monitor, Windows 7, mouse/keyboard. And it has a better graphics card :D

But yeah have a nice day.

Choosing A Desktop Computer

Get a mid-level tower Gaming PC with at least around a 600 watt power supply and a separate internal Graphics Card (No on-board or integrated video for those kinds of games). Also get as much Ram Memory as you can afford in it too. Faster processors are always good and responsive motherboards, too. But any PC that dares call itself a Gamer's PC should have all that anyway.

I'm making good profit with penny stock. Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info/

Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.
