Hey guys I'm too intimidated to build and too enticed by the savings on eBay or craigslist. I just preordered swtor and i just need an example to go by. This computer is about 400 dollars, within my budget.

Do you guys think this is a performing gaming pc? I don't need absolute tip top settings. But as it is my first gaming computer i do want the experience of a pretty picture And smooth operation. Apologies if not enough info included, thnksin advance for Advice/ help.

It isnt bad, but you can go to the dell outlet and possibly find something better (the throw in a GPU after market)

The GPU is pretty much on the level of a 5770 or so, making this an entry-level gaming PC by modern standards. Not a problem per-se, just something to be aware of.
