I've been looking to make a computer for a long time so just for fun and I looked up desktop on groupon and found this: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-hp-pavilion-desktop-wi.... Would I be able to get this and put a $100- $200 graphics card in and have a fully capable gaming PC? Or would it still not stand up to the more intense games. Also, here is a link with a picture of the interior of the desktop. http://www.neweggflash.com/Product/N82E16883250759. Also, i'm guessing I will need a better power supply and I am okay with that.
UPDATE: I found out this will run BF4 on high settings except for the graphics, which obviously wont run it. I would like something that can match high while keeping the price of the desktop ($370), the new power supply and the graphics card under $650 if possible, if it will not run BF4 on high that is okay, i just saw it was one of the most graphic demanding games out there

It would be able to run newer games. BF4 on high is optimistic, but with a new power supply and graphics card it would be a nice upgrade.
$650 though can build you a very nice custom built gaming computer which will perform better than this with an upgraded graphics card. The only thing it might require to build is Phillips head screwdriver.

This is a tad over, but it was a little difficult to get it under $650 with that particular processor. If you downgrade to an Athlon 750K it would not be a large performance hit for the price.
This would be the next step down from that one saving a little money.

Mine is a little over the $650 too, but still cheaper than the prebuilt + upgrades, and is overclockable up to @4.2-4.3MHz which will much improve performance.

I'd say go with the top one that deemo13 mentioned. It has an ASUS motherboard, which will be good quality, as they're premier in the business. I've heard bad things about ASRock.
Three flaws I see with the HP PC:
- It has a APU. That APU has an inbuilt graphics card, which is a bit stronger than integrated, but still not very strong. If you use a graphics card, that GPU will be wasted; and the CPU part of that isn't very strong either.
- It's refurbished. Not that I'm saying it'll trash after a month, but getting parts new is always better.
- Its graphics card slot doesn't have a locking mechanism(Wonder what mobo that thing has). That means that it may happen that if the case moves when the computer is on, the graphics card can move. It shouldn't.

There are much cheaper alternatives than what these others are suggesting.
This ($540) would outperform the prebuilt+upgraded GPU/PSU.

For that price what kind of HDD can you expect?
I don't think you realize how restrictive of a budget that is.
The guy is already replacing his PSU. If we tell him if he wants to get a good card like the 270x or GTX 770 he'll need to get a new PSU, what's the use then? Games are getting demanding.
Your own build easily leaves enough room to get a better hard drive and power supply.

So one person has a defect board and that condemns an entire company? If that the case you probably hate every company that creates components for computers.I'm not hating anyone, I'm just saying go with better brands if you can help it. If any parts do turn out to be defective we're the ones who'll have to take the blame. "Hey cst you recommended me that part and it turned out to be defective".
Blaming an entire company for one bad part isn't fair, I know. But I haven't heard any such things about ASUS or Gigabyte boards, so I recommend them.

I'm not trying to combat you. I just don't like seeing people put down hardware especially a brand like ASRock who has really come into their own. You know as well as I, daily we see hate from and for Nvidia and AMD but neither is bad it just depends on what you prefer. When it comes to brands EVGA, MSI, Asus... so on no matter the hardware it's comes down to those of us who can help to make suggestion but not to put companies down for an occasion defective part cause even the biggest names out there with the best parts sometimes send out a bad part or it gets damaged on the road.

Yeah... I have an ASUS board that's in the process of dying. It's not a good idea to rate entire companies on one, or even a few, example(s).
I put in low specs because the person said he's unemployed and the most he can possibly spend is $650, and he would prefer less. That makes all the builds for $670-$700 that got posted unlikely to work out. I got the price as low as I possibly could, cutting corners everywhere that it was safe.
It may be possible to cut the RAM to 4GB, saving $20 and putting it toward a better PSU. For $55 he could get a decent 550w model that'd open up the possibility of upgrading at least one tier in the same generation. And it'd be simple just to add an identical stick of RAM later for 8GB.
It's also worth noting that the 500GB drive could be supplemented with a second 500GB drive if he gets an extra $50 in the coming months or years. HDDs and RAM are items that can be upgraded bit by bit, not like CPUs or GPUs that almost always have to be replaced to be upgraded.
Ofc, he's still good for cross-generation upgrades on a 430w PSU. For example, from a GTX 550 to a GTX 750. Or from an HD 6670 to an HD 7670. Just not many same-generation upgrades, unless power use drops with the 8xx series like it's supposed to.

I picked the Cooler Master case because it is one of the high air flow models so i wouldn't need the CPU cooler. Also, i most likely won't be using the full 8 GB while playing a game so I am fine with the cheaper one stick

I'd urge you to get a kit of 2 RAM sticks instead of one, you'll have the same 8GB you had otherwise, but you'll get around 12GB/s speed out of your RAM instead of 6 GB/s.
Another thing is that the CM doesn't have support for usb 3.0 front ports. So a modern pen drive or an external hard disk won't be utilized to their full capacity. I get around 90 MB/s transfer speeds when using my laptop with USB 3.0, whereas only 25 MB/s with USB 2.0.
And if budget allows, the 600W version of the Corsair Builder CX series.

the memory Op chose is CAS 10, slower than the CAS 9 of the Vengeance. Also it is single channel, 1 stick, not dual channel 2-sticks. What you are looking at OP, is really slow memory, and that's going to affect everything from opening windows, opening apps, playing games, clicking on a jpg... everything will be slower.
Spend the extra $10 on This
Airflow in a case is a practice in reducing ambient temperatures inside the case, allowing heatsinks to work at a more efficient rate. Having a case with good airflow just means that the cpu cooler will work better, as its base temp is lower, so while you have a decent idea, in practice its not. CPU temps are fast heat, and in the space of seconds can go from 30C to 90C. There is no way case airflow can accommodate that, or dissipate it. The 760K is a really good overclockable CPU. Its what AMD is made for, but I'd advise against any sort of OC, considering the already high clock speed is going to raise CPU temp enough to start taxing the stock cooler, which while ok, is not exactly a performance model.

So your saying to get a better ram and invest In a CPU cooler?

The extra $10 for the better memory is worth it. If you honestly feel you can't swing for the CPU cooler, that's ok, just don't try to OC until you can. The hyper212 EVO is hands down the absolute best cooler in its price range, which comparatively is cheap. Do what you can with what you have to work with, its always a shame to see what could be a really good budget build become a boat anchor because of a few dollars difference.

Problems:
1. CPU cooler is too weak. That cooler has a TDP of 65W whereas the CPU you selected consumes 100W. I'm willing to bet AMD's stock cooler is more powerful than that. The Hyper 212 Evo that's $30 has a max TDP of 180W.
2. Your case has no USB 3.0 ports, as I've said earlier already.
3. You should really go with a better PSU if you can help it.
If I may say this, I think you're going for the cheapest one the site shows, to save as much money as possible.
Don't follow that approach. Fix a budget such that even if that budget is reached, you won't mind spending it.
Go for high quality parts initially, leaving room(like a more powerful power supply than you really need, in the worst case, it'll atleast give you room to upgrade). Then if the price exceeds your budget, then start turning down the parts notch by notch( such as a 770->760->270x->270 get my point?) until they fit your budget. That'll ensure you get a balanced build, and help you avoid cut corners in the wrong places.

This is still a little bit over the budget i was hoping for but I can make do if there is nothing i can do. I am okay with not having the USB ports if that just means slower dowloading on/off a pen drive. Here is the new list:
