I found a computer that I want to ask for for christmas, and I'm wondering if it will play AAA titles at least at medium, or will it suck? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...

More about : good

It will suck. Your talking low 720P settings.

GT 610 is bottom of the barrel GPU, pretty much equal to intel HD 4600

It would be fine for an all around build, but for gaming? low end, very low end. The 610 isn't made for gaming.

What about the rest of the hardware? Are they good, or equally sucky to the GPU?

Would this be an improvement, or is the gpu still in the same category?

Sounds like a good build, but I'm 14, and while I know some about computers, I lack the expertise to build. Also, my families financial situation isn't that good either.
