My brother is trying to buy a PC for gaming and he bought a touch screen all in one computer with intel HD graphic 4400.... I didn't know about this, otherwise I would of told him it would be a bad idea since it is not for gaming at all....

He is buying this for my little brother, but he has NO IDEA about graphics card and processors.
I know a bit about it, but not to the point where I could say this graphics card is better than this one, this processor is better than that one, etc. My brother works full-time while I am a full-time college student and entering finals week, there is no time to do this on our own right now, which is why I am asking for some suggestions.

(I accidentally forgot to un-check the box that asks for a solution)

and also il share you this $600 intel build.
based on benchmarks, this is a little bit better than the first i posted, but be aware that this is not overclockable.

Awesome! I will take your builds into consideration, they will deff be on my list.

Here is the one my brother was going to get.... (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-20-touch-screen-all-in-one-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/7573022.p?id=1219279725521&skuId=7573022)

And this is the one he already bought... (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-19-5-portable-touch-screen-all-in-one-computer-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/5818308.p?id=1219159694549&skuId=5818308)

He says that he wants an all-in-one computer to save space due to the excessive cables and such....
I don't how to build a computer but I'm sure youtube could help with that right?

Could I get more input before finalizing the decision please? Thanks.
 



- Yes youtube will help a lot in building a pc.
- This would be my last recommendation if you need an operating system(windows 7)
