    Going to order a pc from dell, mainly because im lazy and don't want to build one myself. Found one with a nice price however not too sure about the graphic's card :

    256MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 2600 XT graphics card

    Any thoughts would be awesome. Basically I don't care about not be able to play the newest games at the highest settings, but would like to be playing them better than average

    Thanks in advance

    If you exclude Crysis, more then capable of playing most new-ish games at an average resolution (1280x1024) at medium-high settings.

    What dell system are you getting?

    You could get it without the graphics card and put in a better one yourself

    Also make sure its a full width case and not a low profile on or it will severly limit your upgrade path

    Why not try Dell's EBay site:
    http://stores.ebay.ie/Dell-Outlet
    These are PC's that have a scratch, etc, I got one (I'm still looking for the scratch on mine!) & I've seen others that have got one and the PC's are excellent. You just have to be patient and outbid others, but worth the wait.......ie. either look for one with a good GC or get one without and upgrade later, note: there's nothing on the site at the mo, but they're EOQ is next month, so expect to see loads up there.
