and I think it is stout enough to handle almost any game. I am not totally sure o all of the spec, but I do know it has a 300 GB hard drive and a nVidia 8600 gt graphics card. However, I seem to be having an issue running Age of Conan in anything but low settings. Is it because I am using DX 10? I kind of figured that since I can run WoW on very high to max, AoC would b an issue! Do I need a better graphics card? If I do, what can I get for about $300-400?

For starters don't compare WOW and AOC in graphics, AOC smokes it out of the water and thus takes a stronger system to run. Second from what I have read a 9600GT has some problems with AOC which means your 8600GT is going to be much worse. if you are trying to run it in DX 10 then it will be even worse and slower. For $300-400 look no furthur than the ATI 4870. It costs around $300-350 from what I have seen and will beat most $400-450 cards out there.
