Sorry if I posted this on the wrong section because I have no Idea where this kind of question would go. I don't know much about PC's or whether they will be good for gaming or not. I kind of know the basics like what a GPU does and what it means. I picked a few computers that might be good for running simple games like G-mod or The Escapists or even Dragon Ball xenoverse?

Yeah I normally shop at best buy for my electronics and it's one of the only electronic stores there are around my area so it's the only place I can go. I know to most of you that building one is more better but I simply don't have the time or the knowledge to do that. Which one of these computers are better for running Dragon Ball xenoverse?

the possessors and ram are decent but the graphic cards suck... you could buy one and but a graphics card on the side and put the graphics card in your pc... but i would honestly recommend building one... also what really bothers me is that it just sys its an fx chip and not the actual cpu...

You also avoid the issue of having crappy PSU or having a boatload of trash software installed on the PC if you go build your own rather than buying prebuilts.

Hell the components in the pre-mades may not even be of the same quality as the exact same units that are sold seperately. Also premade have a tendency to go heavy on CPU and light on GPU because it is easier to convince a normal layman that a PC is 'faster' if you have a better CPU than with a better GPU. For gaming it is the other way round that they are nearly always GPU heavy.

Going by purely Benchmarks, the top one seems to be the best.

HD 6450's benchmark score according to PassMark is in 3 digits (for comparison, 980 is nearly 10,000), so you can eliminate the bottom machine.

Out of the other 3 (R7 250, R7 240 and GTS 640), the top one has the best GPU, so if it was me, I would pick that one.

So I have to look for a computer that is good on GPU and not so much on the CPU? What would be considered a good GPU? 2 GB's? 4 GB's?

For gaming, a higher GPU and a slightly lower CPU usually yields better results than a higher CPU and a lower GPU.

I would not use VRAM as the sole determining factor in looking at GPU. It is an important statistic, but it's GPU core is as important, if not more important, than VRAM. However at this day and age, depending on the games you play, what resolution you play at, what details you want and what FPS is acceptable, I would not buy anything less than 2GB of dedicated VRAM, the current sweetspot is 4GB, though there are games currently that cuts the 4GB close.
