Even though you plan to upgrade, do not buy a pre built computer. The ones that are affordable use cheap parts and the ones that actually game well are overpriced.
Building a computer is actually quite easy. Takes about 1.5-2 hours the first time, not including installing software.
Yes, you can buy one of those, but the components are simply not meant to game seriously. The i3 is not a gaming cpu(maybe technically it is, but not really). And anything with the word 'integrated' is not meant for serious gaming.
You can build a much better AMD system for about the same price(assuming you already have a case and PSU). And I5 system can be built for $550-$700, depending on mobo and vid card(with the previous assumption).
If you lived near me, I could do it free, as I actually enjoy building them. It's relaxing. I hope I don't sound like a snob, but pre built (mainstream)computers are generally not meant for gaming. They are meant to be 'open the box and go' computers.
