Hi, I am looking to buy a new computer. Want a machine I can game with but don't want to break the bank. I want a pre-built computer.

Went to HP looked like they have decent systems at competitive prices, however I don't know where I need to be with the Video card.

Here are my options

512MB NVIDIA GeForce G210 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] Included in price
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4650 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] +$20.00
1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 [DVI, HDMI, VGA] +$60.00
1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters] +$160.00
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters] +$180.00

Is there a clear winner here in performance for value? Any of these real stinkers I would regret getting? What would you choose?

I'd like to use this machine to play new games coming out at xmas, not necessarily on max settings

The ATI 4850 would be the one worth getting up there if you want it to be preinstalled. But it's overpriced if you get it from hp. You can get a 4870 at $150 or even less from newegg if you don't mind installing it yourself.
