I am wondering if anyone knows of a decent gaming pc for £150-£200 I don't want to be running games in ultra but I wouldn't mind not running them on minimum I've been looking around and found some great deals for 'gaming pcs' with things like 1TB hard drives 4gb ram but then it turns out they have the worst possible graphics card, some even from notebooks, what I would like is at least 4gb ram, preferably 500gb hdd and I'm not sure about the rest, not a massive techy computer guy, all I'd really play is runescape, minecraft, cod, battlefield, gta and games like that, I couldn't care less about making the game look as realistic as possible with particle effects, but if anyone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section I wasn't sure where it should go, thanks :)

Best I could do with the price point, it has an intergrated graphics card which is pretty good for casual gaming and should be more than enough for minecraft.

Yeah the graphics card is upgradable. You can upgrade any graphics card provided the PCI slots can handle it. Just check the motherboard and make sure you got enough PCI slots but apart from that, Yes, the graphics card can upgrade to anything anytime.
