Okay. I am slowly but surely saving up for a new machine of the desktop variety. I wanted to save and try to build a rig, but that will likely take much more time than my laptop has left. What I want is something that will last for at least five years and will be good for gaming, drawing, and editing videos (nothing major). Would you all consider this computer suitable?  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227510

yeah. around $500. I work minimum wage and most of my money goes to bills so...I don't feel like I will be able to save up much more than that before my laptop becomes completely unusable.

Does this include peripherials?

peripherals need not be factored in at all. i still have that stuff from my old desktop. *edit* wait wait. i did not realize that "peripherals" included graphics cards and ram. i guess some will have to be factored in. i won't need a monitor or keyboard or mouse or anything like that. i have no idea if i could use the ram from my old dell dimension.

you think so?

Yea, that thing is horribly specced.

 

Here is a system http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qhpMyc didn't pick a case because I don't know what you like but that is build with plenty of budget left over for a case and an OS from G2A. So you can come in right at your $500 budget.

 

 

Edited- Just saw that you didn't need peripherals.

The graphics card is only a GeForce GT 610. Depending on what games you want to play, you'll most likely need something more powerful.

is a good deal. the only thing that is bad about, is the graphic card.. take it and later on buy a better gpu. and 4more gb of ram. as you can see is under $500.. and gives you windows and everythign. you can't do under $500 and better than this, with case, windows, keyboard mouse etc. take it and as i said, later on buy a card and add more rams.

But is ok.

This is great for the cash. Cheap and cheerful. A good mid ranged gpu with a mid ranged platform. for a budget price.
