I would like some suggestions for a moderate gaming pc (prebuilt that I can buy online or at a store).

What I mean by this is:
-I will want a decent GPU
-I will be playing mostly older games e.g. Star Wars Battlefront 2, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc
-I wont be playing AAA titles like Far cry 3/4 or anything too new
-I don't play multiplayer
-I don't need much storage (500GB should suffice)

Required:
-At least 8GB RAM

Things I don't need:
-Mouse and keyboard
-Monitor


Please don't put answers saying "You should build a computer, its cheaper!"
I Know.

i mean he should get something close to what i suggested.... the prebuild one should have something similar parts that i suggested...
 


of the list, probly the 8320E + GTX 950 is the bets choice for gaming, should get a sustained 60 fps in all games on high settings, ultra on some titles, including current AAA titles
 
This is good if you can get it in 35 mins.

And a mini-itx that should be able to max all the old games for only $500: (and can actually be upgraded with a better CPU fairly easily)
