I use my computer for

Surfing the net
Watching streaming videos on Hulu, Amazon and sites like that
Playing Flash games occasionally
Rarely playing games like League of Legends or games that you would find on BigFish
Sometimes typing documents

But mostly watching stuff on streaming sites like Hulu are surfing the net

Would this computer or a computer with similar specs be good for that;



If so, what are some good computers with similar specs
If not, what would be a good computer for my purposes under 900-1,000 bucks?

hmm...

Minimum System Requirements:
2 GHz processor
1 GB RAM (Windows Vista and 7 users will want 2 GB of RAM or more)
8 GB available hard disk space
Shader version 2.0 capable video card
Support for DirectX v9.0c or better
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.

for League of Legends :)

best buy doesn't really give good specifications for that computer really...
they don't tell if it's a single, dual or quad core processor (?)
google'd it tho and it's a dual core...
so yeah... it should definately fill your requirements

APU: Kaveri 7850 3.7GHz $190
Motherboard: Gigbyte A88x D3H $90
Ram: gSkill RipJaws 8GB 2400MHz dual channel DDR3 $80
Storage: 1TB harddrive $65
PSU: 650W $80
Case and monitor is up to you...

With this you save over $200 on the GPU because Kaveri is an APU with a very powerful integrated GPU, especially for LOL and such.

The one at best buy won't play lol at all and would be pretty laggy in flash games.

Could build a low/mid range gaming computer for that cost man. There's vids online that show how to build a computer, even a group of 12 year old kids have a competition every year of building a computer the fastest. Easy as hell.

Thanks, but gaming isn't essential for me. I mostly forum hop and watch stuff on Hulu and streaming sites as i said in the OP. i only play games very rarely so it isn't that important. Not a hardcore gamer here, lol.

Thanks for all the responses though!
