If you don't have the money, dont buy the dell because they overcharge you. Save yourself some money.

Ok hers the deal. If you buy the emachines computer, and a 6800GT, you will only spend around 900.

Ok, you don't need to be a comp wizard to learn how to upgrade your video card/ram. Those two things are the easiest things to upgrade. Btw add 80 bucks for some random dual channel ram and your set. 990 for a great gaming pc that will run bf2 and much more.

would i be able to upgrade my dell dimension 8400 like the emachines

It really depends. Custom builds are better cause you can use a high-end motherboard and they are upgradable. You can choose your stuff. You can't choose with Dell. But on the other hadn, if you don't want to build your own, Dell's are easier to install. There are also many companies that build computers where u can choose the parts.

well 1 GB of RAM and a ATI Radeon X850 isnt that a good setup for Battlefield 2
