[Solved] Will this Prebuilt HP work for Games like Skyrim?

Could someone tell me if this desktop would work for games like Skyrim or Star Wars Old Republic? And, can you add a graphics card that would help make it better? If so, which one? Sorry, I am very new to this! I have a 14 year old son and would like to get him a computer for his birthday. I would consider building him a gaming computer, but my budget would be around $700. and I am a little afraid that wouldn't be enough. I would very much appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks!

AMD Radeon™ HD 6530 integrated graphics: Won't work, CPU ok, graphics not close.

IF you plan to game do not get an AMD A6-3600 which is combined CPU plus low level graphics (much better than intel, but..) . You want a separate CPU (AMD or Intel) and upper/middle graphic card (AMD or Nvidia).

Here are Skyrim Recommended PC Specs. Note the GTX 260 or HD4890 or better. Use the table on the last page of this article to find cards that meet that requirement. http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] ,3085.html

Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
4GB System RAM
6GB free HDD space
DirectX 9 compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1GB of RAM (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher).
DirectX compatible sound card
Internet access for Steam activation

Thanks so much for the links and information. I have researched all day about building my own system vs. buying a prebuilt one. Thank you both for your replies and now I am off to follow your links!
