Hows this for gaming?

I think this is a really good computer for the price and I plan on putting a GTX 660 / R9 270 in it. Thanks for the help.

Also just to clarify, I have barely any experience building computers. I would much rather get a premade PC and put my own GPU in it than start from scratch.

Pretty decent computer. Just be sure that if you up grade the GPU you most definitely will have to upgrade the PSU. I assume that desktop will have a cheap PSU just powerful enough to run what it has on it. Just a heads up.

It says it has a 500 watt PSU. I thought that would be enough to run another card?

If I were to build a computer, I wouldn't settle with anything less than a 650W power supply. Tell you what, just buy the desktop that you were looking at and the graphics card you want to upgrade to. If you notice any problems with the computer (such as how performance goes) and you're not seeing the performance boost like you were hoping for, THEN buy a better PSU (after you tried everything else such as update your drivers and anything else).

Alright sounds like a plan. The only reason I say is because I really didn't want to go over $750, however I guess if I get performance problems I can just spend the $60 - $80 to get a 650 watt PSU.

Correct

The power supply I am using on my future build is this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pb0750kr

But that is only because I am future proofing my machine.
