As you all know, I'm in search for a new computer soon! I want to stress the fact that I do not need a hardcore gaming computer. I just need one to play League, some newer games, fps's, etc.
I am only interested in Walmart as that is where I'll find them the cheapest so I don't have to order them online and Walmart is right down the road for me.
Now, my question is, if a Windows 7 home premium desktop cost around $278+ tax which would be a little over 300, is that good? It just seems to cheap...It doesn't come with a monitor though, so I figured that's why it was so cheap. The ones with the monitors are over 400.
Here is what I was looking at:

I'd rather have windows 7 if possible. I'm smart with computers software wise and repairing wise such as viruses, knowing my way around a computer, etc. But when it comes to hardware such as the guts and the right computer for a little bit of gaming an shit, I know pretty much nothing.
I will want it to run Skype with my games I play, so anything with low RAM or a cheap ass processor is out of the picture already.
I'm also wanting the hardrive space to be about 160GB+, but this isn't something I'll cry about if its lets say, 120GB.
Thanks to the users who can help me with this, I just want to make sure I get the right computer, this laptop I'm using right now, I bought about 3 years ago and it costed me over $300 and I was dissapointed greatly.
Also, is DUO core good? The quad cores are just way more expensive and I dunno if I need that..
Thanks,
