Was looking at some of these desktops and I'm considering on buying one of them.

My budget is small at about $500-580

Basically just want to play WoW on decent graphics without getting any lag.

They have a bunch that are around my pricing, but I am not sure it is good?

My knowledge for PC gaming is growing slowly but surely, but I would rather have someone who knows what they are looking at to guide me.

Was considering this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gamer-ultra-desktop-8gb-mem...$abcat0501000&cp=1&lp=11

Also thinking about just buying one of the cheaper one and just throw in better graphics cards, they that would be cheaper??

Any information or guidance would be most appreciated.

:)

For your price point, I would call that a decent system.
The problem with putting a graphics card into a pre-built system is that the included PSU may not be powerful enough to run a good graphics card. Then you would find you not only need a graphics card but a new PSU also which could offset any savings you may have gotten initially.

If you buy a prebuilt with the intention of upgrading, you will probably end up spending more more money. You're buying several parts twice.

just to run world of warcraft?
get a lame o off the shelf desktop and slap a gtx 750 ti superclocked from evga. you'll run on ultra with 110 fps out and about and 80 or so in org on a highly populated server.

and I personally dislike ibuypower.
charge an arm and a leg just because prebuilt.
