It says that it has a 300 watt power supply (you will need to upgrade that to at least a 500 watt for the 4870). And it has an AMD 780v chipset motherboard. Also it most likely has DDR2 800 RAM.

You WILL need to upgrade the PSU.

I don't know about the case though.

Hey if you don't have much experience then I could build one for ya! Buying prebuilts isn't as good as building your own.

Well it didn't give a price. So I'm no sure how much it is. But if you want a nice gaming rig then I'd go with a custom computer.

Yeah man I could build you a better one for that price (including a 4870 and a nice power supply as well).

just ask for help on these forums like i did. within a couple of months i learned everything there is to building a computer(75% common sense). if you want just go on youtube which has NUMEROUS tutorials on how to build a computer step by step. also on ordering the parts just post them on here and usually there are good sumeriatans that would be more than happy to help you :)

therefore my advice would be to build your own computer. for one it is cheaper, two it is more personal to your needs at the moment, and three you will learn quite a bit in the process :)
