Peter
I would like a gaming computer that could run minecraft, Arma 2, and Guild Wars 2 with high graphics. Can anyone help me with specs that include a monitor recommendation?
Answer
this is a 540$hp, currently out of stock but you can find it in other stores, can cerntanly play low-mid end games such as minecraft armour 2 and others , thats the whole reason i bougth it,
check out game debate, there you can search up games requirments and you will see the desktop below beats them or is right below them but not by much and you can always upgrade the graphics card and maybe do crossfire and play games like skyrim gta5 saints row 3, not that you cant already with the below desktop just that you will probably have to sacrifice some graphics in order to play with decent game frames but i assume not by much

AMD Radeon HD 7560D Discrete Graphics With up to 4059MB total available graphics memory it has way better graphics unit then a GeForce 310 by far and i mean it beats the crap out of the 310.
and it has AMD Quad-Core A8-5500 Accelerated processor 3.20GHz, 4MB L2 Cache which also beats the crap out of most i5 processors but some i5 processors are stil la bit better, depends on which,
even though it has no screens you can fijnd a pretty good one for $88 which would put you around for $630 in total ,
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dell-Exact-model-may-vary/21009304 , this is a very high deph screen and pretty decent size for $88, that is cheap compared to the others i researched , the 1280 x 1024 resolution is pretty mighty plus the dvi-d fits the desktop
heres some general info
AMD Quad-Core A8-5500 Accelerated processor
3.20GHz, 4MB L2 Cache
8GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable to 32GB)
Gives you the power to handle most power-hungry applications and tons of multimedia work

AMD Radeon HD 7560D Discrete Graphics

now if you dont beielve this one is better then the one mentioned by the other guy look the parts up here http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ for the video cards, the one in this hp are in the high end and the geforce 310 are in medium- range, http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ , for hte cpu, there are a lot of i5 processors but only one a8-5500 , quick way to search them is clicking ctrl+ f then just type in the main namel ike a8-5500 and bam.

What game titles do you want to be able to play?
In that price range you probably won't find a great prebuilt one. Most under $600 computers have either integrated graphics or low-end graphics cards like the Radeon HD 5450 and GeForce 210. Computers with good graphics cards sell for a LOT more, because those systems are configured with a bunch of higher-end options (which you don't need) like the most expensve CPUs, tons of RAM, huge hard drives, blu-ray burners etc. But major manufacturers aren't interested in hurting their own sales of those moneymakers by offering cheap gaming systems.
Your best option is buying a low-cost starting computer and upgrading the graphics card. Your upgrade options are limited because low-cost computers come standard with weak power supplies that cannot support midrange and higher gaming cards.
So this:

Plus this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150545
Is a good combo.
The Radeon HD 6670 is currently the best card available that doesn't require an external power connector- it works on most stock 300W power supplies.
So you don't have to build completely from scratch, but you'll have upgrade something. The best off-the-shelf prebuilt computers in that price range aren't as good.

Here's the unbeatable steal of the month:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229265
Just $400 for a new Core i3 2100 system with Windows 7?!? Replace the power supply and graphics card, and you're ready to rock!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150547
The Core i3 2100 matches or beats AMD's high-end processors (Phenom II X4 970 and X6 1100T) in most game titles.
