It would be good for light games, but I am not very informational when it comes to OEM cards.

Perhaps someone else has more knowledge on this OEM card than me.

If you are wanting to buy off-the-shelf, I am aware that ABS would be your best bet, since they have slightly use better parts that is somewhat better than generic.

I'd avoid off-the-shelf desktops.

I am assuming it is off-the-shelf that is, since the GTX 745 is an OEM card and is only available to OEMs, such as Dell, Asus, and all the others.

If building isn't an option, going through a custom retailer such as CyberPowerPC would be a better choice than purchasing one off-the-shelf.

What would your preferred budget be? I can configure you a desktop via CyberPowerPC. :)

Thanks. Yes, I realize the limiting factor is the GTX, however this isn't going to be used for "heavy gaming", and I prefer to buy off shelf. I was just wondering if it was good/adequate for the casual gamer?
