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-memory-1tb-hard-drive/9177174.p?id=1218994550644&skuId=9177174&st=pcmcat287600050002_categoryid$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.

Solution
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.
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.

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.
