Ok, I am looking to get a new computer but I am on a tight budget. right now i have an old gateway, it just wont run any good games because it has a single core processor and an integrated graphics card. I looked into upgrading this computer but it just ended up being more trouble than it was worth. I am looking to spend less than $1000 on a new computer. I don't really know that much about gaming computers so I don't want to build my own. My friend told me to get a computer with 4gb of ram an Intel dual core processor and a NIVIDIA Ge Force 9600 or 9800 GPU. To me this doesn't look like it would be good enough to play games, but like i said i am new to this and dont really know. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

yes that would be enough for most new games but get a dual core at least 2.8Ghz (E7400 or better)and the 9800GT can run all the game out there medium to high on a decent resolution and no AA and for $1000 you could built a pretty powerfull pc but since you dont want to build one yourself you could find one pretty good for that price

Seconding this. Go ahead and configure a computer and post the results, we can tell you what changes (if any) to make.
