You guys are probably thinking "Why no video card!?!". Because I am going to buy one later on, I just want to get the computer running asap because currently I have a 2.1 GHz laptop that I have to use. Can you guys maybe make suggestions? If you do keep in mind the $90 windows 7 disc. Thank you!
EDIT: What I am looking to do here is some gaming. Like Tf2, Minecraft, Day Z, Gmod, all on Lowest settings. I don't care if my game looks realistic, I just want good fps.
