Answer 3

They are all very good. Its up to you. Look beyond now..Costumer service, upgrades, and such.  

Answer 4

Sorry, but none of those. They're all cheaply built commodity PCs with really bad onboard graphics. Of them, the Acer's graphics are the best, but I'd still want something better even for light gaming like Sims 2. To play anything much on them, you'd need to immediately invest in a graphics board. The HD3850 is available on Newegg for a mere 60$ right now, and that's great for the money, (25+ times faster than even an 8150?) but you'd also need a new power supply. The cheapest decent thing I know of is the 430 watt Seasonic-built Antec EA430, available on Newegg for 30$ after MIR. Then, there's the concern of ventitating the graphics card, as prebuilts often have a lone low-CFM fan,and power ful cards draw ten or more amps of wall power which is quickly dissipated as heat out of the card's fan. Lastly, some machines are proprietary. All those claim to take a PCI-E card, but I wouldn't be shocked if the slimline Pavillion only takes half-height cards- good for sound cards or the like, but NOT video cards. Also, some machines use a hard to upgrade micro ATX power supply.

You'll need to expand your budget if you want something good. With some diligence, 650$ is enough to buy a barn-burning bag of parts that will really impress team mates and enemies alike.

Here's something I built. It's a ready all-but-guaranteed overclocker. All it needs is some Artic Silver 5, an IDE cable, and a SATA 300 cable. Comes to about 650$ after rebates and before shipping. Switch to an HD3850 if you need to save even more money, and see if you can't get save by grabbing only 2GB of RAM, too.

Answer 5

the best gaming system is Alien ware, but they are expensive. HP is really good, I would say followed by ACER(this would be the cheapest), but I wouldn't go for a gateway.
