Need help finding a good cheap gaming computer.

I am looking for a gaming computer for games like WOW and shogun 2 total war, my budget is 800 dollars.

It depends largely on the resolution of the monitor you are using. Any computer with HD2000/3000 will play most games at least at basic settings at most resolutions. After that it is all about compensating with a better GPU, which will require better power supplies than your average pre-built machine comes with.

$700, unless you want to build your own, in which case you could likely get a little more bang/$, plus get something that looks a little less... dell
