I'm looking to play regular games like Amnesia, Penumbra, Team Fortress 2, Portal, etc. It doesn't have to be at max settings. Also I'm not going to try to play games like Crysis, or Skyrim. Although, it would be nice to play Skyrim on the PC instead of the shitty ps3!

many times speaking you have a low end processor, non gaming video card, and too gradual ram. even with the incontrovertible fact that it could not be on your funds, basically get a sparkling gadget able to enjoying the video games you desire on the fps you desire to be certain.
