Not saying they dont, Just the card he is asking about isnt that great. It would be ok for a office computer.

Both unfortunately are not good. This is common with computer deals though, they make it look good but lack a half decent Gfx card.

I wouldn't recommend buying an INTEL graphics card for gaming. I've had one and the FPS (frames per second) will probably range between 20 and 60. If you buy a NVIDIA or RADEON graphic card, FPS would probably range from 98-100 with some tweaking of course. You can get nVidia GT 9500 with 1GB Video Memory for about $74. You will be satisfied.

Read the previous post. I won't be using the onboard graphics card.

Sorry, I only read the first post that you posted.
If you are going with a RADEON 5xxx HD, then it's a great choice.

There you go. Now that can handle games... I have a Radeon 3650 HD in my laptop that i bought at least a year and a half ago, it can handle a lot of games. So the one your choosing should be able to do pretty much everything.
