    Don't buy that shit.
    It's way too overpriced, the components used are really old i mean Pentium D, E8500...lol thats like 2006-2008 or so?

    You can buy way better computers with better specs for the same price or cheaper if you put them together your self.
    Like a I5 or something.

    Buy computers with no big brand, they are overpriced. You can get even better computers for less.

    I mean what specific cards and processors should i be looking into. So far ive heard nothing but bad stuff and have bad experience with intel.

    Also would it be better to buy a cheap desktop like cheap as possibly and buy better parts for it slowly overtime?

    Intel is great, from my experience anyway.

    Intel i5 or even i7 core processors are absolutely fantastic.

    I have an ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series and it's absolutely awesome, with an affordable price.

    I also have 4GB of DDR3 RAM. Look out for DDR3, or if not, DDR2. Also, I'd recommend that it is either Corsair, or if not Kingston will do, but it's usually more expensive.

    I HIGHLY recommend you build this computer yourself by buying the raw parts, it's a lot easier than it looks and will save you big bucks. If you don't feel confident doing so, buy from www.newegg.com if you are from US/Canada/China or www.ebuyer.com if not.

    Good luck! Let me know if you need any more assistance.

    Yeah, case, mobo, RAM, power supply etc. It's always a considerable amount cheaper.

    For the love of god, do NOT get a laptop. What a horrible suggestion.

    Yes, they should come with all wires, the only other things you will need are:
    Monitor
    Mouse
    Keyboard
    Wireless USB Adapter (May or may not need one, I did)

    I'm not too confident with choosing parts either if I'm honest, someone helped me when I was building mine. However, building it is not very hard at all, especially if you have someone to help you if necessary (I had a friend here who was on web cam the whole time).
