Ew.

Nearly $500 for that is a sin. Have a look at the price guide here - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10305872 - and check out the $500 system. It owns the Walmart one several times over.

offc the one in the price guide doesn't come with a screen. you could buy the econobox + a nice monitor (i recommend samsung monitors but whatever). that econobox will run guildwars flawlessly.

Good monitor = 250+ dollars. 250 dollar PC = sin. It is like putting rims on a junker... only fools do that. You don't pair a really good monitor with a bad graphics card.

If you get that PC, fine. But... put a better GPU in it, or you are doomed.

Do you know, I keep forgetting that we don't include a monitor in those specs. Ah well, all that will change in the not-too-distant future.

you can build a complete pc system that will handle GW flawlessly for less than that Walmart one (which will be crap for GW or any other game of the last several years)

I think the key phrase here is in the title of the thread - "So I bought a new computer."
It may be too late to recommend a different option, and not everyone is keen on building their own anyway.

@OP - the integrated x1200 graphics will run GW, but at relatively low settings. It does have a PCIe graphics slot though, so you could upgrade the graphics later.
